After you create a job description, you can turn it into a job ad.

A job ad shares information about a job for workers to find.

It includes information about:

• what the job is
• how to contact you to apply.

We made a tool to help you create a job ad.

You can find the job ad tool on our website.

workforcecapability.ndiscommission.gov.au/tools-and-resources/recruitment-resources/participant/advertise

We also have a list of what to include in your job ad.

You should include the job name in your job ad.

For example, disability support worker.

You should include:

• the main job the worker will be doing, for example cooking lunch

• how many hours they’ll work each week

• how much they’ll get paid.

You should include where the work will be.

This helps workers know how far they will travel.

You should include anything the worker needs to have.

This could be:

• a car
• a skill or attitude.

You could encourage people from different backgrounds to contact you about the job.

You should include:

• something about yourself, such as what you like to do

• how the worker should contact you if they’re interested.

For example, you could include your email address and say:

‘Please send an email telling me about yourself, with your CV or resume.’

A CV or resume is a document that lists your:

• work experience

• education

• skills.

It’s a good idea to put your job ad where support workers can find it.

You can share your job ad:

• online

• around your neighbourhood.

You can search the internet for places to share your job ad online.

For example, you can share your job ad on:

• social media

• disability support websites.

You can give your job ad to people you already know, such as:

• community members
• neighbours.

Some shopping centres and community spaces have places you can share job ads.

You can ask someone who works there if you can put up your job ad.
