The IOM Civil Service
The Isle of Man Government is committed to the provision of high quality, cost effective public services by a well motivated and qualified workforce dedicated to the continuous improvement of services for everyone.
The Isle of Man Civil Service represents the majority of the administrative, managerial and professional side of the Government workforce, comprising over 2000 employees in 20 different Departments, Boards and Offices. It provides a wide range of opportunities for capable individuals in most areas of Island life such as agriculture, education, health, the environment, the economy, manufacturing industry, information technology and tourism. In addition you can choose a career from a variety of occupations, including both specialist and generalist roles.
Whether you apply to join the Civil Service with a view to a clerical, secretarial, professional or technical career, it would be wrong to think that it is "just an office job". The Service can offer a challenging and varied career with plenty of opportunities for promotion to senior positions and for development to enable you to:-ยท
be motivated and fulfilled
be creative and innovative
be challenging and flexible
be responsible
have confidence in your skills
The Civil Service Act, 1990, describes a Civil Servant as an "Officer of the Crown and a public servant". This is someone who is employed in a civil capacity and whose salary is paid out of money provided by Tynwald. The present unified Civil Service was created in 1962, and replaced a system in which individual Boards of Tynwald directly engaged and employed their own staff.
In accordance with the current legislation (Civil Service Act 1990), all civil servants are appointed by the Civil Service Commission. Civil Servants can be part-time, full-time or on a fixed term appointment and they serve the public by carrying out duties that are wholly or mainly administrative, professional, technical or clerical in nature. Therefore, manual workers are not part of the Civil Service, neither are certain other staff such as Police Officers, Teachers, Firemen, Nurses and members of the Judiciary.
