Job Posting Examples: 24 Model Postings You Can Copy, and Why Each Works

{Company} is hiring a sales assistant for our {City} shop. {Pay rate} an hour, paid weekly, plus a staff discount on everything in the shop from your first shift rather than after a probation period.

A shift is four things: opening or closing the floor, serving on the till, keeping stock priced and facing, and taking the delivery in on {delivery days}. Two of you are on the floor at all times, so the shop is never resting on one person.

You need to turn up when the rota says, talk to strangers for a whole shift without it wearing you down, and lift a stock box on your own. You do not need to have worked in a shop before. Hospitality, care and call centre work all teach the same three things.

Hours are {number} a week across {days}, the rota is published two weeks ahead, and it is one weekend in three. Holiday is {number} days plus bank holidays, and nobody has to fight for December.

To apply, send a message to {email} saying when you could start. We answer everybody inside five working days, and that includes the people we are not taking forward.

{Company} is hiring warehouse operatives on nights at our {City} site. {Pay rate} an hour, plus {night premium} on top for every hour worked between {times}. Breaks are paid.

The work is picking and packing against a handheld terminal, loading and unloading with a pump truck, running the stock count at the end of the shift, and keeping your aisle clear and labelled. You are walking {distance} across a shift and lifting up to {weight} without help.

What you need is the ability to read a pick list accurately and to start on time, because the day shift inherits whatever you leave behind. Truck tickets are a bonus and not a requirement. If you want one, we put you through it after {period} and the ticket stays yours whether you stay with us or not.

Shifts are {number} nights a week, {start} to {finish}, with the rota out four weeks ahead. Overtime is offered every week and never assumed, and nobody gets called at home on a rest day.

Apply at {link}. The form is four questions long and it wants a phone number rather than a CV. Somebody rings you inside three working days, and you get the call whether the answer is yes or no.

{Company} is hiring care assistants at {the home or service} in {City}. {Pay rate} an hour, {enhanced rate} at weekends, and paid time for handover at both ends of every shift.

You would support {number} residents with washing, dressing, eating, moving safely and getting to where they want to be. You would also write the notes, notice the change in somebody before it becomes an incident, and tell the nurse on duty. Two carers are on every floor at all times.

You do not need care experience. You need patience that survives a bad afternoon, a steady way of talking to somebody who is frightened, and the willingness to be told when you have got something wrong. We pay for your training, your background check and your care certificate, and you do the training in work hours.

Shifts are {length} hours, {number} a week, on a rolling rota published four weeks ahead. You can hold days, nights, or a fixed pattern of both, and we will not change it without asking you first.

To apply, call {Name} on {number} or send anything you have to {email}. The interview is a conversation and a walk round the building, not a test.

{Company} needs an evening cleaner for {the site} in {City}. {Pay rate} an hour, paid weekly, {number} hours a week, Monday to Friday.

You would work {start} to {finish}, on your own, with keys and an alarm code. Offices, a kitchen, two bathrooms and a stairwell. Everything you need is on site and we replace it before it runs out.

No experience needed. What matters is that you turn up, that we can trust you with the building, and that you tell us when something is broken instead of working round it.

Ring {Name} on {number} before {time} on any weekday, or come to {the reception desk} and ask for them by name. We can have you started inside a fortnight.

{Company} is hiring a multi-drop delivery driver out of our {City} depot. {Pay rate} an hour plus {mileage}, paid every {day}. The van is fuelled, insured, taxed and washed by us, and none of that comes out of your money.

A day is around {number} drops on a fixed round in {area}. You load at {time}, you are on the road by {time}, and you are back and finished by {time}. It is the same round most weeks, so you learn the streets, the gates and which back door actually opens.

You need a full licence held for at least {number} year and no more than {number} points. You do not need multi-drop experience. If you can read a manifest, park a van in a bad street and stay polite with somebody whose parcel is late, you can do this job.

Days are {days}. If the round finishes early you go home early and you are still paid for the shift, because we would rather you drove properly than quickly.

Send a message to {number} with your name and the year you passed your test, or apply at {link}. Somebody rings you back the same day.

{Company} is hiring a kitchen porter for {the restaurant} in {City}. {Pay rate} an hour, paid weekly, a share of the tips, and a meal on every shift you work.

The job is pot wash and dish wash, keeping the floors and surfaces clean, taking deliveries in, and breaking down the bins at the end of service. When it is quiet, the chefs will teach you prep if you want to learn it.

You need to keep going when the pass is full and to say when something has gone wrong early enough for the kitchen to fix it. No experience needed. If you have worked anywhere that involved being on your feet for eight hours, you already know most of it.

Shifts are {number} evenings a week, {start} to {finish}, with the rota out on {day} for the following week. Swaps go through the team chat and not through a manager.

Come to the {back door} between {times} and ask for {Name}, or send a message to {number}. We hire in the same week we advertise.

{Company} is hiring a qualified electrician for domestic and light commercial work across {area}. {Pay range} depending on qualification and experience, plus overtime at {rate} and a van you take home.

The work is a mix of rewires, consumer unit changes, fault finding, vehicle charger installs and small commercial fit-outs. You would run your own jobs from the sheet, order what you need on the company account, and certify your own work.

You need a Level 3 qualification and the current wiring regulations, plus a full driving licence. Inspection and testing is useful and we will fund it if you do not hold it. We fund the charger qualification too, and both happen in work time rather than on your Saturdays.

Hours are {number} a week, Monday to Friday, with call-out on a voluntary rota that pays a standby rate whether or not you get called. Tools are ours to buy and ours to replace, and nothing on the van comes out of your pay.

Send your qualifications and one job you were pleased with to {email}, or call {Name} on {number}. We will pay you for a day out with one of the team before you decide anything.

{Company} is hiring Class 1 drivers out of {City}. {Pay rate} an hour, paid weekly, with night and weekend rates on top. You are home every night. We do not run tramping and we are not going to ask you to.

The work is trunking between our {City} site and {number} regional depots on a fixed pattern. Curtainsider, drop and swap, no handball. The fleet is on a {number} year replacement cycle and the workshop is on site, so a fault gets fixed rather than logged.

You need a current Class 1 licence, a valid driver qualification card and a digital tachograph card, with no more than {number} points. {number} months of Class 1 driving is useful. If you passed recently, say so, because we run new drivers with a mentor for the first month and we are glad to.

Shifts are {number} a week, {start} times, with the rota out three weeks ahead and holiday requests answered in writing so nobody has to remember a conversation.

Call {Name} on {number} or send your licence and qualification card details to {email}. The interview happens at the depot, and you see the yard, the trucks and the canteen before you say yes.

{Company} is hiring a dental nurse at our {City} practice. {Pay range} depending on experience, with your professional registration, your indemnity and your continuing professional development paid for by us.

You would work chairside with {number} dentists and a hygienist across general and cosmetic work, set up and turn round surgeries, run decontamination, take payments and keep the stock cupboard honest. The list is {number} patients a day and it is planned rather than stacked.

You need to be registered, or in training with an end date we can see. Radiography and impression taking are welcome and not required, and we will fund either. What we cannot train is the ability to keep a frightened patient calm while doing three things with your hands.

Hours are {number} a week over {days}, no weekends, and the practice closes for {number} days at Christmas. Uniform and shoes are provided and laundered.

Send a short note about the practice you are in now to {email}, or call {Name} on {number}. We pay for a trial day, and you meet the whole team before either of us decides.

{Company} is hiring a counterbalance forklift operator at our {City} warehouse. {Pay rate} an hour, {shift premium} on the late shift, and your refresher licence paid for on the day you start.

You would load and unload curtainsiders, move pallets between goods in, racking and the pick face, and put stock away accurately enough that the pickers do not lose an hour finding it. There is floor work as well when the yard is quiet, and we say that up front because plenty of postings do not.

You need a current counterbalance licence and {number} months on the trucks. Reach and powered pallet truck tickets are useful. Accuracy matters more than speed here: we would rather a pallet went into the right slot slowly.

Shifts are {number} days a week, alternating {early} and {late}, with the rota out four weeks ahead. Overtime is offered on {day} and it is genuinely optional.

Apply at {link} with your licence details, or call {Name} on {number}. We check the licence and book you in for a yard test in the same week.

{Company} is hiring a maintenance technician for our {City} production site. {Pay range}, plus a shift allowance of {rate}, and overtime paid rather than banked as time off you never get to take.

You would keep {number} lines running: planned maintenance to a schedule, breakdown response when a line stops, and the improvement work that stops the same breakdown happening twice. The plant is a mix of ages, so you will meet a modern controller in the morning and something older than you after lunch.

You need a recognised mechanical or electrical apprenticeship or a Level 3, and time on production plant rather than on a bench. Multi-skilled is ideal. If you are strong on one side we will fund the other, because we have never once hired somebody who arrived complete.

The pattern is {shift pattern}, {number} hours, with the rota fixed a quarter ahead. Tools, protective equipment and boots are ours to buy and ours to replace.

Send whatever you have to {email}, even if it is out of date, or call {Name} on {number}. The interview includes half an hour on the floor with the shift team and no manager in the room.

{Company} is hiring a chef de partie for {the kitchen} in {City}. {Pay range}, a {number} day week, and no split shifts. Overtime is paid, not swapped for a day off you never manage to take.

You would run {the section} on a menu of about {number} dishes that changes {frequency}. The brigade is {number}, prep happens in the morning and service is {number} covers on a busy night. The head chef writes the specs down, so nothing depends on remembering what was said in March.

You need to have held a section before and to be able to keep it clean while it is busy, which is the part that cannot be taught in a week. Formal training is welcome. If you came up through the kitchen, that counts exactly the same here.

Last orders are {time} and the kitchen is shut and cleaned down by {time}. Rotas go out on {day} for the following week, holiday requests are answered in writing, and nobody is called in on a day off unless they offer.

Send a message to {email} with the sections you have run, or call {Name} on {number} and come in for a trial shift that we pay for.

{Company} is hiring a receptionist for our {City} office. {Pay range}, {full time or part time}, {start} to {finish}, and the desk is covered at lunch so you get an actual break.

You are the first person every visitor, delivery driver and phone call meets. In practice that is the front desk, the main line, the meeting room diary, passes and post, and quietly knowing where everybody is. You would also be the person who notices the printer has been broken for a week and gets it fixed.

You need to be calm with somebody who is early, somebody who is late and somebody who is annoyed, often inside the same ten minutes. You need to leave the desk in a state somebody else can pick up, because it has to run on the days you are not there. Reception experience is welcome. Retail, hospitality and care all count.

Hours are {number} a week, {days}, on site. This job cannot be done from home and we are not going to pretend otherwise for the sake of a wider shortlist.

Apply at {link} with a short note about the busiest front desk you have worked. We reply to everyone within a week.

{Company} is hiring a part-time administrative assistant in {City}. {Pay range} pro rata, {number} days a week, and the days are yours to choose as long as {day} is one of them.

The point of this job is that nobody else has to think about how the office runs. In practice that is the diary for {who}, inbox triage, invoices in and out, travel and expenses, notes people can actually use, and ordering what we are low on before anybody notices we are low on it.

You need to be organised in a way that survives being interrupted, willing to push back on a request that would wreck somebody else's week, and quick with a spreadsheet. Formal admin experience is welcome. Running a committee, a household or a small shop counts, and we mean that literally.

This is a part-time job that stays part time. We will not quietly grow it into five days, and we will not message you on the days you do not work.

Apply at {link} with one paragraph on what you would do about a meeting room that has been double booked for a client visit. That is the actual job, so it is the actual question.

{Company} is hiring a customer support advisor. {Pay range}, hybrid with {number} days in our {City} office, and no evening or weekend shifts.

You would answer around {number} conversations a day by email and chat about {the product}, from a password reset to a genuinely difficult complaint. You would also write down what keeps going wrong, because the team that fixes the product reads what support writes and acts on it.

You need to write clearly enough that somebody has stopped being angry by the third line, and to be comfortable saying that you do not know yet and will find out today. Support experience is welcome. A service desk, a ward, a shop floor or a bar all teach a version of this.

We do not measure people on handling time. We measure whether the problem came back. Training is {number} weeks, paid, with a named buddy, and nobody goes near a live queue on their own in week one.

Apply at {link}. First a {length} call, then a paid exercise on two real tickets with the names taken out, then a decision within a week.

{Company} is hiring an accounts assistant in {City}. {Pay range}, plus your accountancy study fully funded, study leave on top of your holiday, and the exams paid whether you pass first time or not.

You would run the purchase and sales ledgers, chase what we are owed without being unpleasant about it, reconcile the bank, prepare the tax return for review, and help close the month. The finance team is {number} people and you would sit with {role}.

You need to be accurate with numbers you did not produce and stubborn about a difference of a few pounds, because a small difference is usually a large one wearing a disguise. Part qualified is ideal. Bookkeeping experience with the willingness to study is just as welcome.

Hours are {number} a week, hybrid with {number} days in, and month end does not turn into a fortnight of late nights. If it starts to, that is a process problem and we will fix the process rather than expect you to absorb it.

Apply at {link} with the stage you have reached in your studies, or send a CV to {email}. We reply to everyone.

{Company} is hiring a marketing executive to work on {the product or service}. {Pay range}, hybrid with {number} days in {City}, and a budget you are trusted to spend without asking three people first.

In your first quarter you would own {a concrete first piece of work}. Day to day it is email, the website, paid social and the events calendar, working with {number} people and reporting to {role}. You would not be asked to design a logo, organise the office party or fix the printer, and we mention it because plenty of marketing jobs quietly are those things.

You need to have shipped something with your name on it and then had to look at the numbers afterwards. Two years is roughly the shape of it, and we would take one strong year over three quiet ones. You do not need every tool on our stack. You need to be able to learn one in a week.

We review the work weekly, we stop what is not working without ceremony, and nobody has to defend a test that failed.

Apply at {link} with one campaign you ran, what it cost, and what you would do differently. Any size, including something that did not work.

{Company} is hiring a software engineer for {the product}. {Pay range}, published as a band with the levels written down, so nobody has to guess where an offer will land. {Working pattern: on site in {City}, {number} days in, or fully remote within {region}}.

The system is {the service}, {language} on {platform}, serving {who}. It is {number} years old, which means there is a good part, a part everybody avoids, and a migration that has been half done since {year}. You would work on all three of those.

In your first month you would put one small change into production in week one, then pick up {a concrete first piece of work}. The team is {number} engineers, code review is required and unhurried, and on call is one week in {number}, quiet most weeks, and paid either way.

What we need is somebody who has looked after software after launch rather than only built it. If you can pick up an unfamiliar codebase and be useful inside a fortnight, the language on your CV matters less than we both pretend.

The process is a {length} call, a paid {half day} on a ticket we have not got round to yet, and a decision within a week. No whiteboard algorithms, and no take-home that eats a weekend.

Apply at {link} and point us at anything you have built, however small.

{Company} is hiring a sales development representative in {City}. {Base salary} plus {commission} on a plan you can read in one page, uncapped, and paid the month after the meeting happens rather than the month after the deal closes.

The job is booking qualified meetings with {who} for {number} account executives. Calls, email and social, from a list you help build rather than one you are handed. The target is {number} meetings a month and it is the same target for everybody at your level.

You need to be able to hold a conversation with somebody who did not want the call, to take twenty refusals before lunch without it changing your afternoon, and to write an email a busy person will actually read. Sales experience is welcome. Hospitality, recruitment, care and fundraising all build the same muscle.

You get {number} weeks of paid training, a manager who listens to your calls with you every week, and a route to account executive with the criteria written down before you start rather than invented afterwards.

Apply at {link}, or send a two-line message to {email} that would make you want to reply. That is most of the interview.

{Company} is hiring {number} seasonal warehouse operatives at our {City} site from {date} to {date}. {Pay rate} an hour, paid weekly, plus a completion bonus of {amount} if you finish the season with us.

It is picking, packing and loading through peak. Long days, a fast pace, a warm building. You would work {number} hours a week over {days}, with overtime available every week and never compulsory.

No experience needed and no CV needed. You need to be able to stand and walk for a full shift, lift a box on your own, and start on {date} rather than the week after it.

The season ends when it ends and we are not going to pretend otherwise. Every year we keep some of the seasonal team on permanently, we choose on attendance and accuracy, and we tell everybody the decision by {date} instead of leaving people waiting for a call that never comes.

Apply at {link}, or come to {address} between {times} on any {day}. We interview on the spot and start people in the same week.

{School} is looking for a teacher of {subject} from {term}. {Pay scale point} to {point} on the main scale, {full time or part time}, {permanent or fixed term}.

You would teach {subject} across {year groups} to classes of about {number}, with {number} lessons a week and your planning time taken as a block rather than in fragments. The department is {number} teachers and shares its schemes of work, so nobody is writing a curriculum in the evenings.

You need qualified teacher status, or to be finishing your training this year. Teachers in their first two years are welcome and get a trained mentor, a reduced timetable and a named person to go to on the day something goes wrong, rather than at the next review.

Behaviour is managed centrally and consistently, so a teacher who sends a pupil out is supported rather than quietly judged for it. The marking policy is {frequency} and has not changed in {number} years, which is deliberate.

Visits before you apply are warmly encouraged. Call {Name} on {number} to arrange one, or apply at {link} by {closing date}.

We are a family in {City} looking for a nanny for our {number} children, aged {ages}, from {date}. {Pay rate} an hour gross, paid monthly through payroll with tax and contributions handled properly, {number} hours a week over {days}.

A day is the school run, cooking a proper lunch or tea, homework, one activity out of the house, and the tidying that belongs to the children rather than to the whole house. We are clear about that line and we are not going to move it later.

You need paediatric first aid, a background check we can see, and two references we can call. A driving licence helps because of the {activity} run and we pay mileage. Formal childcare qualifications are welcome and not essential where the references are strong.

We pay for your first aid renewal, we give {number} weeks of paid holiday with {number} of those at your choosing, and if we cancel a day you are still paid for it.

Message {contact} with a little about yourself and the families you have worked with. We would like to meet twice, once without the children and once with them.

This role is open to {Company} colleagues only until {date}. {Pay range}, {shift pattern}, reporting to {role}, based at {site}.

You would lead a team of {number} in {department}: the rota, the daily brief, the quality checks, the one-to-ones, and being the person the team comes to first. You would keep {proportion} of your time on the floor, so this is a step up rather than a step away.

You need {number} months with us and a current record with no live formal action. Team leading experience is not required. We are looking for the person other people already ask, and most of you know who that is on your own shift.

You do not need a CV. Write half a page on one thing you would change in {department} and why, and send it to {manager} by {date}. Your current manager will be told that you have applied, and applying will not be held against you if it does not work out this time.

Everybody who applies gets a conversation and written feedback within {number} working days, whatever the outcome. If you want to talk it through before you decide, {Name} is happy to.

{Company} is taking on an apprentice in {trade or field} at our {City} site. {Pay rate} an hour from day one, rising each year, with your course fees, your kit and your travel to college paid for by us.

You would spend {number} days a week with us and {number} at {college}, working alongside {the team} rather than watching them. In your first year you would learn {the first real skills}. By year {number} you would be running small jobs on your own with somebody at the end of the phone.

You need to be {minimum age} or over and to have {the entry requirement}. You do not need experience and you do not need to have decided the rest of your life. You do need to turn up, ask when you do not understand, and take being corrected in front of other people without it ruining your week.

We have kept most of our apprentices at the end of their training and we would rather keep you than train somebody else. There is no guarantee written into this and we are not going to pretend there is one.

Apply at {link}, or come to our open evening on {date} at {address}. Bring a parent or a friend if you would rather not come on your own.
