Prepare a vacancy for advertising

1. About the guide

Use this guide to prepare a vacancy for advertising. Many details will be populated from the already created staff request. You can advertise externally on the University's Jobs website or internally-only, on the Internal Job Board within HR Self-Service.

NB If re-advertising follow the relevant guidance in the Manage unplanned recruitment events guide, then return to this guide to prepare the new vacancy for advertising.

Key reminders

1. After committing to an action, such as clicking SAVE, a green success message appears, wait for the dark green line to fill, before proceeding. 

2. Ellipses =  ‘three dots’, usually at the end of a row.

If the appointed candidate may require a Skilled Worker visa, you MUST follow the Staff Immigration Team guidance on Advertising Requirements; see Staff Immigration training web page for information about training on this.
