While pre-employment right to work checks verify civil servants meet the Civil Service Nationality Rules, which includes permitting the right to work in the UK Civil Service to certain EEA and Turkish nationals, once that process is complete we do not retain this information.

However, Civil Service workforce data including sex, religion, ethnicity, and more, is stored, and is published annually in the Statistical bulletin - Civil Service Statistics on GOV.UK.
