Best Practice for Using the Jobs Board

Acceptable use
You are responsible for the content of your job advert, and any websites you link to. Advertising on the Proud to Care West Sussex website means you agree to:

• Ensure jobs advertised are accurate, legal and don’t support any fraudulent activity
• Follow the Plain English principles and use a high standard of spelling and grammar
• Ensure content is appropriate for the purpose intended and not offensive or defamatory in any way
• Be welcoming and open, following equality and diversity at all times
• Not knowingly upload material which contains any harmful programme which would affect the operation of the website, computer equipment, other software or any other network, for example viruses or spyware

West Sussex County Council Proud to Care team want to help you produce a great advert, but we have a few simple rules.

We will:

• Not publish submitted jobs if we consider them unsuitable
• Suggest an edit to submitted content
• Withdraw access to the system in the unlikely event acceptable use and eligibility are not met

Writing an eye catching job advert

A good job description should be clear and concise, containing the key elements of the job; you may also wish to include details on the values you are looking for in your candidates.

You should include the benefits of why someone would want to work for your organisation, alongside the pay and key expectations.

Being clear in your advert should help ensure applicants are fully informed on the role before applying, which should prevent time being wasted.

Adverts give you the opportunity to sell the role and don’t forget to include learning and development opportunities which may set your organisation apart from others.

Marketing Opportunities

You may use the Proud to Care West Sussex logo on your recruitment material. The correct logo can be seen below, and to access a copy please email proudtocare@westsussex.gov.uk

Please note the logo must not be squashed, stretched or altered in anyway. Providers in West Sussex using the Proud to Care West Sussex logo will be monitored for compliance.

The logo should have clear space around it and the logo should be clearly legible in the size used. The space should be the equivalent of the height of the letter ‘e’, as shown below.
