Page 1 of Local Council Jobs- Law Question

Can anyone tell me what laws govern local councils when recruiting please.

i.e do they legally have to advertise vancancies?

any links really appreciated

Thank you

I thought they had to. And they could not stipulate race, gender and sexuality. Unless they want a black lesbian.

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

I thought they had to but cant find the actual law anywhere?

This is a job given out to an individual externally but not advertised.

Sure they can`t do that.

What was the job in question.

I know where I work we recruit internally first and if there are no suitable candidates then externally

Clerical asssitant in town council

Sounds like a case of jobs for the boys

The council should have their own policy on recruitment

You should ask to see it and if you suspect foul play then ask them the reason behind their decision to do this
