Vacancy packs or statements

Vacancy packs or statements provide more detailed information in a single place. This information can include details about the team structure, organisational culture, organisational priorities, pay, terms, conditions and benefits as well as insights from the existing manager. A vacancy pack or statement can help potential applicants decide whether to apply or not.

As with other materials, it is good practice to review this information for accessible and inclusive language and a logical order. You should also offer to provide the information in alternative formats.

These steps help ensure that the pack doesn’t exclude, confuse or overwhelm – for example, highlighting the most important information about the vacancy in a summary section can cut down on scrolling and focus applicants’ attention.
