Application Help

Thank you for your interest in York Commercial Ltd. (YCL). We want to make your application process as smooth as possible. Please ensure that you read YCL Job Applicant Privacy Notice and this page before you apply for a YCL job.

Registering with our jobs site

Register on our application portal to track your application status, sign up for job alerts, and apply for roles. You will need to provide your email address and a password.

Starting an application

Once you have found a job you are interested in, read the job description and person specification carefully before clicking ‘Apply now.’ You will be guided through the stages of the application form.

Completing your application

You do not need to complete your application in one session. You can save your progress and return at any point before the closing date. The system retains personal details, but information specific to the job—such as your referees and supporting statement—must be provided for each application. Please ensure you have read the YCL Job Applicant Privacy Notice.

Disabled Applicants

If you require adjustments to enable you to apply for a job or attend an interview, please contact YCL HR.

Making changes

As long as the closing date has not passed, you can amend your application. Sign in to your account, use the ‘withdraw application’ option, and re-apply for the job.

Your supporting statement

We recommend that your supporting statement or covering letter uses a concise style to explain fully how your skills and experience relate to the essential and desirable criteria in the person specification. Decisions are based on the information you provide.

Closing dates

Applications must be submitted by midnight (UK time) on the closing date. We do not recommend waiting until the last minute to submit your application.

Progress and correspondence

After the deadline, we will review all applications and email you regarding the outcome of the selection process.

Do I have to apply online?

We prefer applications to be made online. However, if you find it difficult to apply online, please contact us for assistance.
