Apply Online for Council Job Vacancies

Less than a week after Wrexham Council's website appeared in the top 20 government websites in the UK a major new facility has been launched on the site. Jobseekers visiting the vacancy pages can now apply online for vacancies with the Council.

The vacancy pages have been popular pages with users since the site was launched in 2000 and they received over 6000 visitors last month. Until now it was only possible to request an application form via email. This new service means those who don't want to fill in paper forms can complete their applications online and submit them electronically.

Dave Hylands, Wrexham's Chief Information Services Officer, said:

"This is a very exciting new facility and will undoubtedly keep us in the fore front of e-government. Our web site is increasingly a major source of information for residents, visitors and businesses in Wrexham and we are constantly improving our pages in line with the expectations of the 21st Century."

Peter Harris, Chief Personnel Officer said:

"We have worked hard with our web team to provide this online service and look forward to receiving more and more online applications. The system is easy to use and we know it will prove popular with those looking for jobs with Wrexham Council".

Anyone wishing to apply online for jobs can be assured the system is secure and that their information will be dealt with fully in compliance with data protection and other relevant legislation.
