Senior Civil Service pay system

The Senior Civil Service (SCS) is made up of our top managers, specialists and policy advisors, and currently has around 4,000 members.

The pay and grading structure for the SCS is managed by the Cabinet Office. The Cabinet Office is responsible for providing evidence to the Senior Salaries Review Body, which provides independent advice to the Government on the SCS system.
