Writing your advert
If you have a vacancy or other resourcing need then you should
contact your Resourcing team contacts to discuss your requirementsYou will need to draft a concise but informative job advert. Key points to consider when doing this include:
- Capture the main elements and attractions of the job and the type of person you are looking for in a punchy and appealing way. Try to do this in 50-100 words based on the information you have already compiled in the further particulars.
- Keep words, sentences and paragraphs short and clear.
- Make sure the job title will be meaningful outside the University.
- Try to picture the sort of person you want to attract. What would they already know about the University and the job? What do they need to know?
- Emphasise the most interesting elements of the role and don't labour the obvious.
- Ensure that you do not use any potentially discriminatory language, terms or criteria.
