Age - key observations and insights
Applications tend to come from those aged 16-34, which is reflected in the fact that there is a higher percentage in recruitment of those in 16-24 and 25-34 category compared to the overall workforce profile. However overall workforce representation has not increased (reflecting low overall number of recruits)
A large percentage of workforce within the Authority, specifically Forensic Services, requires a professional qualification and equivalent experience, therefore an under representation of young people in these roles can be expected
These data demonstrate a continued increasing trend in representation of those aged 55-64 demonstrating the continuation of an ageing workforce.
