Your vacancy will automatically be archived after the closing date has passed. You may still access your vacancy by clicking on the “Archived” button on your 'My ScotEdJobs' page.

How do I delete vacancies?
You cannot delete vacancies from the system, but you can move them to your archive. To do this, simply click on the 'Archive' icon next to the vacancy in the vacancy management system.

To view this application, you will need to login, click on “Recruitment”, and then click on the “Vacancy Management” link. This will bring up a screen with a table of all your current vacancies.

Simply click on the “View application” link to view the application.
