2026 GSR DAP Job Description Pack

Government Social Research Degree Apprenticeship Programme (GSRDAP) 2026: 

Job Descriptions  

Here are the job descriptions from the departments participating in this year’s GSR Degree Apprenticeship Programme (GSR DAP). They give you an insight into the work of the department, and the role of social research apprentices within that department.  

If successful at the GSR DAP Assessment Centre, you will be allocated to any government department with a role available. Where possible, we will try to place you within a department with an office at one of your preferred locations. We are, however, unable to take your preferred departments into account, as we must treat all applicants fairly, as well as meeting the needs of each government department offering apprenticeships. 

Please note that the descriptions in this document may change as departmental needs shift in response to workload. This may include the locations, departments, and number of roles available. 

If you have any questions, please email GESRrecruitment@hmtreasury.gov.uk
