As part of the council's commitment to providing information on our website
we now advertise all our jobs
online.

You can get an application form and supporting information using the following
methods:
Online: via
the council's website.
Each advert placed on our website
includes the relevant job description and employee specification. The online
application is quick and easy to use and provides you with an
emailed acknowledgement. You can also register on the website to receive

in word and PDF format if you prefer to download them.

each job advert contains a telephone number that you can call
to get a full information pack. Some numbers may be a dedicated job line
where you will be asked to leave a message. Others will be answered in
person during office hours.

job advert contains an email address that you can use to request and return your
completed form. You can also get an acknowledgement of receipt using this
method.
By

packs can be requested in writing and returned by post to the address provided.
If you would like an acknowledgement you will need to enclose
a stamped addressed postcard/envelope with your application.
Application packs
All application packs contain
the following information as standard:
Covering letter
- this letter tells you what to do next and provides a contact
for any queries. It explains that due to cost, the council has reluctantly adopted
a policy of only notifying shortlisted candidates. Because of this, you
will need to assume that you have been unsuccessful if you have not
heard anything within six weeks of the closing date. If you are not successful
it may be helpful to get some feedback, especially if you are planning to apply
for other jobs. Just call the telephone number in your covering letter for
help and advice.
Job description
- this document contains the main duties and responsibilities of the post.
It lists the knowledge, skills and experience needed to do the job. It tells you
about the role and explains what will be expected of you if you are
offered the position.
Employee specification
- you should use this document to check if you meet the requirements
of the role. It should also be used as guidance on what information to include
in your application form. It explains exactly what knowledge, skills, experience,
qualifications and personal qualities are needed. It also tells you how
these will be measured.
Application form
- you must submit an application form to be considered for a position with
North Lincolnshire Council. CVs are not currently acceptable. The council’s
online
application form is quick and easy to use. Forms are also available
in the following formats - paper, email attachment, word or PDF (downloadable
from our job application
form page).
Supplementary
information - this may be included, but will depend on the nature of the
job. Information about the area will be provided if you live outside North
Lincolnshire. If you feel that further information would be useful
to you just call the telephone number on the covering letter.
Closing dates
You must ensure that your form is submitted before the closing date. Late submissions
are generally not accepted. The closing date can be found in the advert and
in the covering letter that comes with the application pack.
