Doh! My fault entirely - I had not checked the download section when I
moved things from the devel server to live. Job descriptions, person
specifications, and application form are available from

At OpenAdvantage we don't insist on proprietary doc formats - we all use
OOo - however the UCE personnel dept are a different matter. We are
trying to make them see the light, and hopefully for the next two jobs
we can get pdf's up instead of .doc's.
