Tips for writing your advert

To make your advert easier to read, use:

  • simple language and short sentences so that everyone can read and understand your advert
  • bullet points to list items, such as key points about the role or employee benefits
  • bold if you need to break the text up with headings
  • Arial font, size 12

There are some things you should avoid as they make it harder for people to read and can cause accessibility issues. 

Avoid using:

  • jargon
  • abbreviations - write them out in full instead
  • italics, underlined text or block capitals, and only use bold for headings
  • background colours or different coloured text
If you are copying and pasting text from a document or website, check the formatting of your pasted text. It is best to right mouse click and 'paste as plain text' to strip out any formatting that may have copied over. We do not allow different fonts, colours, symbols or styling. We will remove these from your advert when we review it before it goes live.

Add a closing date and time for your advert

Closing date

We can advertise job adverts for up to 90 days. Please choose a closing date within 90 days of the current date.

Click on the calendar icon to open the date picker and click to select the closing date for your advert. 

Alternatively, you can type in the box in the format of DD/MM/YYYY

Closing time

Enter a closing time for your advert using am/pm format, for example, 11am or 2:30pm. For 12pm use 'midday' and for 12am use 'midnight'.
