Recruitment Tips

Write an accessible advert for construction support

Added to the archive on 15 November 2026.

Make the duties and practical requirements of construction support clear to applicants.

Lead with two activities a new starter will do most weeks. For roles involving site paperwork, materials and deliveries, name the work and the team that supports it. Separate essential requirements from skills someone can learn after joining. Use examples of evidence candidates can draw from work, study or volunteering.

Make applying straightforward

Include site induction, travel and early starts if relevant, along with a location and a contact or application route. Give candidates a clear list of what to send and when they can expect the next step. Read the advert from a phone before posting and check that the important details are easy to find.
