Department for Transport

Whatever your journey, we will support you

Transport is a high profile area. Everyone relies on the transport network in one way or another, whether it is to get to work or school, visit friends and relatives or moving freight so there is food in the shops. Our staff know how important their work is and how they fit in.

We rely on the skills and capabilities of our people to achieve our objectives and serve our customers. That’s why we’re committed to developing, training and helping you be the best that you can be. You’ll get at least five days’ learning and development every year.

Whether you’ve joined us after applying for one of our job adverts or through one of our Apprenticeship, Fast-Track Schemes or Commercial Development Programmes, you’ll have the opportunity to be involved in delivering a safer, more secure and sustainable transport network that works for everyone.

Different people, one team

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re proud to be a great place to work, and that’s why we’re working to become one of the most diverse and inclusive in the Civil Service and the transport sector.

From flexible working to tailored well-being support, our award-winning staff networks understand what makes a difference, and have the power to achieve change.

Supporting diversity and inclusion in the workplace is the responsibility of everyone in DfT and we have champions at board level that meet with our staff networks to drive change and encourage everyone to make a difference. Inclusion is about everyone and we are all part of making it happen.
