Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities: Vacancies

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, how many and what proportion of digital posts in his Department are vacant.

Answer

As part of the 2022 to 2025 roadmap for digital and data, all departments made a commitment to reduce their digital and data vacancies to under 10% of total Government Digital and Data headcount by 2025.

This is to drive modernisation and digitisation in Government, improving public services for the British people and saving taxpayer money. Overall good progress has been made, with total vacancies now at 15%.

The Digital and Data Profession Capability Framework, defining the scope of the digital and data profession, outlines capability standards for roles and skills in the profession. It enables professionals, line managers and hiring managers to have a common understanding of roles and provides a strong foundation for recruitment.

DLUHC has a vacancy rate of 11.95%.
