The guidelines for completing this on-line form are in the 'Advertising A Job Vacancy' section of this website. We believe this offers significant benefits for our customers and is designed to be more responsive in managing vacancies and submitting applications. We would really like to hear your views or suggestions how we may make further enhancements. To do this please complete the feedback form at the foot of the Homepage or email us at workingwithchildren@essexcc.gov.uk 

We have already seen that website advertising and offering an online option for candidates has tripled the number of applicants. We have also have a talent pool of 800 clients who have opted for our job matching service. We recommend that you track your vacancy - you can access this facility through a password login (the same one used for placing the advert on-line) to view candidates put forward by us. You may also add applications you receive from other sources.

It is also advisable to set a timetable of action points up to, and beyond, the date of closure, e.g. setting shortlisting and interviewing dates.

We would like to maintain contact with you throughout the duration of your vacancy to monitor how your advert is progressing and to make sure we are meeting your expectations of customer service.
