Written for AO/AA level
At AO/AA level, strong evidence needs to show that you can organise your own work, follow the right procedures, deliver accurately and on time, take personal responsibility and keep managers or stakeholders updated. The examples in this guide are written around that level of responsibility, so you can see what suitable AO/AA evidence looks like in practice.
🎯 Personal accountability: showing what you did and the standard you delivered.
⏱️ Reliable delivery: organising work, maintaining pace and producing accurate results.
🤝 Team contribution: supporting colleagues, listening to others and working constructively.
📋 Following procedures: working within the rules while using your own judgement appropriately.
50 examples across the complete behaviour set
You receive five worked examples for each of the nine Civil Service behaviours, followed by five additional generic personal statement examples.
That gives you 50 examples in total to study when building your own application evidence.

🌍 Seeing the Big Picture
The examples use different situations and types of experience so you can see how the same behaviour can be demonstrated in more than one way.
Learn how to build your own 250-word statement
The guide also explains how to turn your own experience into a concise behaviour statement rather than simply giving you examples to copy.
🔎 Choosing the right evidence: identify an example that genuinely matches the behaviour being assessed.
🧩 Using B-STAR: structure the statement so the background is clear while most of the word count is spent on your actions and results.
📏 Managing the word limit: decide what deserves space and what can be removed without weakening the evidence.
✅ Final checks: review relevance, ownership, active language, measurable results, spelling and the 250-word limit before submitting.

Use the examples as inspiration, not scripts
Your Civil Service application needs to reflect your own experience and your own contribution.
The examples are there to help you see how strong evidence can be selected, structured and expressed at AO/AA level. Use them to compare approaches, identify the strongest parts of your own experience and improve the way you present that evidence.
Do not copy the examples word for word. Adapt the approach to your own role, responsibilities and results.
