Advertising
Depending on the type of post you are advertising for there are several websites available that are worth advertising your new post with - Listed to the left.
You should produce a short advert which piques the interest of potential applicants. You don't need to give all the details of the job - that's what the job description is for - The job title, place of work, salary and a sentence about the church/role/setting to give an idea of what the role is about. You probably also want to include a deadline for applications and interview date.
Some places allow you to post a graphic. Make it clear and easy to read but bold enough to stand out from others on a page.
Templates and forms
The Safer recruitment website has example forms that you can download and use for free.
The Acas website has hundreds of example forms and tools and templates that are kept up to date with changes in legislation. If you're looking for example contracts, please head to
