The Town BoardIssue 018 October 2026
Work going in [your town], posted by the people doing the hiring.
A board for the town and the villages around it. Shops, kitchens, workshops, care homes and offices put their vacancies up here themselves — the hours, the pay, the name of the person to write to. You read them, you pick one, you send an email. That is the whole thing.

Drag sideways — what people say about the board
“We put a weekend job up on a Tuesday and had three people in by Friday. Two of them still work here.”
“I found my job on a board like this. It was the only place that told me the actual hours before I applied.”
“Every post is read before it goes up, so you never waste an afternoon on something that closed last month.”
“No account, no CV portal. You write to the person who is hiring, and they write back.”
For people looking
Search by the word you would actually use — “weekend”, “driving”, “kitchen” — or filter by the kind of work and the hours. Every post tells you who to write to, so you can ask about shifts, pay or start dates before you commit to anything.
For employers
Write the vacancy once, in your own words. It comes to the board owner for a quick read, then goes live — free. Applications arrive at your email address, and you can ask us to take the post down the day it is filled.
Why it stays useful
Nothing is scraped from anywhere else and nothing is auto-posted. A person reads every vacancy before it appears, which is why the board stays short enough to read in one sitting — and why the jobs on it are still open.
