As of 13 August 2026, AI can write a UK job description.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open your current role profile, organisation chart and approved pay or benefits information.
   2. Gather the confirmed role title, team, reporting line, location, working pattern, contract type, salary, purpose and responsibilities.
   3. Separate requirements into genuinely essential criteria and desirable criteria, and remove personal preferences that are not needed to do the work.
   4. Paste the gathered information into the prompt, replacing each bracketed slot and leaving a slot marked [NEEDS CONFIRMING] where the facts are not approved.
   5. Ask the model to produce the job description and its separate missing-information and risk lists.
   6. Compare every duty, requirement, salary detail, benefit and application instruction against the source documents, then correct or delete anything the model added.
   7. Ask your HR or people lead to check the final criteria for objective justification, equality risks and consistency with your recruitment process before publishing.

   Prompt

   Write a UK job description for the role below. Use only the facts I provide and do not invent duties, qualifications, benefits, salary details or claims about the employer. If information is missing, mark it as [NEEDS CONFIRMING] rather than guessing.
   
   Role title: [ROLE TITLE]
   Department or team: [DEPARTMENT]
   Reports to: [REPORTING LINE]
   Location: [LOCATION]
   Working pattern: [FULL-TIME, PART-TIME, HYBRID, SHIFT OR OTHER]
   Contract type: [PERMANENT, FIXED-TERM, TEMPORARY OR OTHER]
   Salary or pay range: [SALARY OR PAY]
   Purpose of the role: [ROLE PURPOSE]
   Main responsibilities: [PASTE RESPONSIBILITIES]
   Essential skills and experience: [PASTE ESSENTIAL CRITERIA]
   Desirable skills and experience: [PASTE DESIRABLE CRITERIA]
   Required qualifications or checks: [PASTE ONLY CONFIRMED REQUIREMENTS]
   Benefits: [PASTE CONFIRMED BENEFITS]
   Application instructions: [PASTE INSTRUCTIONS]
   Employer information and tone: [PASTE APPROVED INFORMATION]
   
   Produce:
   1. A concise job description with headings for role purpose, responsibilities, essential criteria, desirable criteria, terms and how to apply.
   2. A separate list of every missing fact marked [NEEDS CONFIRMING].
   3. A separate list of any requirement that could be unclear, exclusionary or difficult to justify objectively, with a neutral alternative where possible.
   
   Use plain British English and an inclusive, factual tone. Keep essential criteria genuinely necessary for the work and keep desirable criteria separate. Do not state or imply that the wording is legally compliant. Do not include protected characteristics or personal preferences unless I provide a specific, lawful and objectively justified requirement for HR review.
