A Surprise Gem of a Jobs Board

Did you know the Direct.gov.uk website has its own jobs board?

Until about a month ago I didn’t even know this gem of a jobs website even existed!

My other half, like many others has been looking for work in the recession and was directed this jobs website by JobCentrePlus.   I had the perception that it would be mostly local government jobs, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was quite a comprehensive list of web content jobs.

I searched using following keywords:

  • web
  • digital
  • content
  • writer

Its search engine didn’t produce many results for the first two keywords, but ‘content’ and ‘writer’ yielded decent results.

  1. You are then presented with a number of job areas relating to content.  You can choose a maximum of 3.
  2. Next you input the postcode or town/city you are looking for a job and the radius in which you are looking for work.  Click on the Search button.
  3. This returns the results.
