Posting a Job or Placement
What it is for
The Careers page lists paid roles, summer camp positions and student placements. Visitors read the posting and apply through a form on the page itself, so there is no email address to keep up to date.
Where applications go
Every application is emailed to [email protected] the moment it is submitted, with the applicant's details, their cover letter and a link to their resume. It is also kept on the Job Applications page. The applicant gets an automatic acknowledgement at the same time.
Reading applications is a separate permission from posting jobs. See Reading Job Applications for who can open them and how.
Where to edit the postings
Sign in, then open the Careers editor. Postings are split into Current and Closed.
A closed posting is kept so you can reuse the wording next year. Open it, change the dates and the closing date, and save.
The fields on each posting
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Job title | The heading people see in the list. Put the season or year in it, for example Summer Camp 2027 - Camp Coordinator, so an old posting is never mistaken for a current one. |
| Description | The full posting. Cover what the role is, who it suits, the hours and the pay or honorarium. Use headings and bullet lists rather than long paragraphs. |
| Job Type | Full Time, Part Time, Freelance or Internship. Visitors filter the page by this, so it is a fixed list. |
| Job Category | The area of CCAH work, for example Camp. Pick a suggestion or type a new one. |
| Job Location | Where the work happens. Pick a suggestion or type a new one. |
| Closing date | The last day to apply. The posting comes off the page by itself the day after. Leave it empty and the posting stays up until you take it down. |
| Status | Published puts it on the Careers page. Draft keeps the wording without showing it to anyone. |
Closing dates do the work for you
Setting a closing date is the tidiest way to run a posting. Nobody has to remember to take it down, and the date shows on the page so applicants can see how long they have.
If a posting closes and you want it back, open it, give it a closing date in the future, make sure the status is Published, and save.
Before you post a role
Check the wording with whoever is hiring first. A job posting is the most public thing on this list, it is often shared straight to social media, and a correction after the fact is awkward.
