Search for jobs
When you've found a job you're interested in, select ‘Apply for this job’ and the application form will open up for you to complete.
Information to put in your application
Your information and your application form tell you what you need to include.
When to submit your application form
The job details will specify the closing date. You must have submitted your application before midnight on the closing date unless otherwise specified.
Do I need to complete my application in one go?
You don't need to complete all of the sections in one go. You can complete part of the form and come back to it later to add more details. Just make sure that you choose 'save and close' before exiting.
The 'previous' button will take you back a page without saving changes that you have made on the current page. To make sure your changes are saved, choose 'save' before going back.
How to access a part completed application
You'll need to log in to your account and go to 'my dashboard'. Any incomplete applications are listed in 'my to do list' where you need to choose 'complete applications'.
If you don't submit your application before the closing date, your partly completed application will be automatically moved into the section 'applications not completed in time'. You will not be able to submit the application after the closing date.
Moving on to the next section on the application form
All fields marked with a * symbol are mandatory and have to be completed. All mandatory fields must be completed before the system will allow you to go to the next page.
If a field is not applicable to you then type in 'none' or 'not applicable'.
Space to complete experience details
Within the experience section, you can enter all your information relevant to meet the person profile and specification. This section will expand to fit the text you enter.
Additional information
If you're applying online and the job advert states you need to provide a supporting statement in addition to the experience section, you can upload this when you start completing your application.
Print off an application after submission
Once you've submitted your job application the completed form will display and the option to print the form is on the page. If you don't want to print the form then and there, but need to later, you can log in to your account and open your form from 'my dashboard'. You'll then be able to scroll down and select the print option.
Submitting your application
Once you've chosen to 'submit' on the last page, your application will be saved and submitted to us and you'll be unable to amend it. If you don't want to submit the application form at this stage you can choose 'close' on the last page.
Confirmation
Once you've submitted your application we'll send you a confirmation of receipt by email. We'll use the email address stored in your registration details, so it's important to keep your registration details up to date.
If you don't get confirmation of your submitted application
Check your registration to make sure your email address is correct.
Check your email spam or junk folder.
You may have a filtering system set up that will not accept our emails. If you still haven't received the email, please contact us tel: 01629 535118 and select option 1. We should then be able to confirm receipt of your application.
Deleting an uncompleted application form, or withdrawing a submitted application form
You can delete either a part completed application or withdraw a submitted one by logging into your account and going to 'my dashboard'.
You then need to go to the relevant job application form and click on the grey cross. You'll be given the option to delete or withdraw the form.
If you’ve submitted the application, you have the option of adding why you are withdrawing. However if you have any queries regarding your application, please email jobs@derbyshire.gov.uk.
If you withdraw a form that has been submitted you won't be able to apply online for this advert again.
