Application forms
Using the online application form
Important:
- You can apply for most council jobs using an online application form, but for security reasons, the system will log you off after 90 minutes.
- We therefore strongly recommend that you register first so that you can save your form, and return to it later to complete it. You can also reuse the information saved in the form to apply for other jobs with the council.
- If you do not register, then you must complete your application within 90 minutes. Otherwise, you will lose your application when the system logs you off and have to start again.
- You may find it easier to use a word processor to prepare some of your application in advance, such as your skills and experience, and copy that into the online form.
Word and PDF application forms
We strongly recommend that you use the online application form linked to each job vacancy. However, if you are unable to use the online application form, you can use the DOC or PDF forms above and email them when completed to recruit@walthamforest.gov.uk, or post to:
- Shared Service Centre
Laurel House
Waltham Forest Town Hall Complex
Forest Road
Walthamstow E17 4JF - If you post your form, please make sure you allow enough time for your application form to arrive before the closing date.
Alternative formats
If you are unable to use the online application form, please contact the council's accessibility section for details about alternative formats.
