The Insolvency Service reviews its staffing requirements on a regular basis and responds to local needs as and when they arise. There are plans to recruit administrative staff in the following locations: Plymouth and/or Exeter; London; and Birmingham. This includes apprenticeships recruited in accordance with Civil Service Employee Policy guidance and through the Civil Service Fast Track Apprenticeship Scheme.

Overall workforce plans will be reviewed in the autumn, once the outcome of the current voluntary redundancy scheme is known and a better assessment of the agency's workload can be made in the light of the number of insolvency cases in the first 5 months of the year.
