Saving Searches – How do I save searches and create job alerts?
Speed up the process of searching for the latest vacancies by creating and saving searches based on your own criteria and receive email alerts informing you of new vacancies matching your criteria.
SEARCH: How do I carry out an advanced job search?
The fejobs.com search works using advanced keyword matching.
It then produces a comprehensive set of results – which you can then manipulate by filtering.
To carry out a specific job search:
Firstly, type the subject (e.g. history) OR a cluster name (e.g. Harris or Nottingham City Council) or a type of role (e.g. teaching) into the WHAT field.
Then, add your preferred location – this will allow you to filter the radius later. The target icon will locate where you are.

In the search results page, you can filter using the choices on the left. This works much like the filter you may have seen on shopping or property sites.

If you have selected a TOWN in your search, you will also be able to adjust the radius from that central point
