Working for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport
As the dedicated department to the UK’s cultural, media, sporting, tourism and charity sectors, we are growing the economy and enriching lives across the country.
Driving growth, enriching lives, promoting Britain to the world
Our sectors support over 3.8 million jobs and our exports, from the Premier League to films, are in huge demand around the world.
At DCMS, we deliver an incredible impact on people’s everyday lives - from supporting local museums, galleries, cinemas and theatres to delivering sports pitches and youth facilities, or backing charities making a huge difference right across the country.
These are the things that bring pride to local areas, deliver huge health and wellbeing benefits, and make life worth living.
It's my job to understand new digital technology so their incredible possibilities can become reality and transform business, from tiny startups to big corporations. I guess in some ways you could say it's my job to speed up tomorrow.
I’ve found DCMS to be a really supportive environment where I have had the opportunity to develop and reach my full potential.
We are committed to developing all our staff so they can reach their full potential. Just some of the things we offer to support you are:
- opportunities to grow and develop your career with a variety of interesting roles within the department
- access to 5 learning and development days a year
- bitesize learning through the DCMS academy throughout the year
- digital learning whenever it suits you
- maternity, adoption or shared parental leave of up to 39 weeks full pay and a further 13 weeks unpaid and paternity leave of 11 days full pay.
What you could do
Our people are not your stereotypical civil servant. They are inspired by and drawn from the creative, cultural and sporting sectors. We are diverse and welcoming. We embrace fresh-thinking and ideas. Have a look at what you could do at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.
