Recruitment information update

We’re excited to share some key changes to how we recruit at Glasgow Life. Following the recent pay level updates, we’ve not only incorporated the new payscales but also taken the opportunity to refresh the Recruiting Pack and revamp the Advert Template — making the process easier for you and more engaging for potential candidates.

Thanks to fantastic feedback from our recruitment focus group, we’ve worked closely with our Marketing and Communications team to update how we promote roles. This marks an important first step in building a stronger, more recognisable Employer Brand.

What’s new?

  • Updated Recruiting Pack – Now includes the latest payscales, direct links to guidance and support, and a cleaner, more user-friendly layout.
  • No more Excel adverts! – The advert template is now a Word document, making it simpler to edit, save, and submit.
  • More engaging adverts – The new template links to our “10 Facts about Glasgow Life” video to help candidates connect with the inspiring work we do.

Why It matters

Recruiting with accurate pay levels helps us stay competitive and transparent.

 And the improvements to the paperwork mean:

  • You can find what you need faster
  • You’ll feel more supported throughout the process
  • Candidates get a clear, compelling picture of what makes Glasgow Life a great place to work

What you need to do

  • Download fresh every time – Always use the latest Recruiting Pack from the intranet. Using outdated forms can lead to delays or returned paperwork.
  • Bring your vacancy to life – Use the new Word-based advert template to create compelling, candidate-friendly adverts.
  • Use the support available – Head to the intranet for the full Recruitment Toolkit and Quick Guides to walk you through each step with confidence.
