Careers vacancies

Open roles as ruled rows for a local employer: the role and its team at the left, then the hours, then the pay set larger than body text, and an Apply button at the right, so the terms are read before the click.

Above the rows a heading and one line on why to work here; below them a general enquiries link. States no colour and no font of its own.

What to change first

The roles, their teams, hours and pay, the "why work here" line, and the #apply and mailto: links.

The signature moment

The pay is on the row, not behind the button

Every row states its hours and its pay before the Apply button, and the pay is set larger than anything but the role. A job seeker compares four roles by reading down one column. The pay is a bare clamp(1.125rem, 1.6vw, 1.5rem) at weight 700, the row's second mass after the role on the large rung. The mark survives colourlessness because it is made of alignment and rule: the four columns hold the same widths in every row, and each row is closed by a currentColor rule the width of the section.

Theme handoff

What comes from where

From your theme

  • The ground is base and every line of type is contrast, each a two-rung chain. Text is at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes.
  • The rules are currentColor, so they follow your text.
  • The label starts on role-label and the enquiries link on role-link, both falling through to contrast.
  • The Apply buttons state no colour, so your theme's button paints them; they state their padding so the target holds in any theme.
  • The heading is on the x-large rung, the roles on large, body copy on medium. The typeface is your theme's.

Set by this pattern

  • Each row is a columns block at 40, 22, 24 and 14 per cent, so the hours, the pay and the button line up down the list. Below 782px the columns stack and each row reads top to bottom: role, team, hours, pay, Apply.
  • The enquiries email is kept short so it does not break mid-word on a phone.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives

Overview

Open roles for a local employer, a heating firm or a clinic, as ruled rows. A tracked label and a heading sit at the left of the head, one line on why to work here at the right. Below them each role is one row between rules: the role and its team or place, the hours, the pay, and an Apply button. A line under the last rule offers a general enquiries email for anyone the list does not fit.

Every row states its hours and its pay before the Apply button, and the pay is set larger than anything but the role. A job seeker compares four roles by reading down one column.

Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast

What it inherits from your theme

  • The ground is base and every line of type is contrast, each a two-rung chain. Text is at 4.5:1 or better in the stock themes.
  • The rules are currentColor, so they follow your text.
  • The label starts on role-label and the enquiries link on role-link, both falling through to contrast.

  • The heading is on the x-large rung, the roles on large, body copy on medium. The typeface is your theme's.

What it decides for itself

  • Each row is a columns block at 40, 22, 24 and 14 per cent, so the hours, the pay and the button line up down the list. Below 782px the columns stack and each row reads top to bottom: role, team, hours, pay, Apply.

Questions

Careers vacancies: common questions

Does Careers vacancies need a plugin?

No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.

Will Careers vacancies match my theme?

Choose by variation. Ruled vacancies takes your theme’s palette; Putty and racing green brings its own colours.

How many variations does Careers vacancies have?

2: Ruled vacancies and Putty and racing green. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.

Is Careers vacancies free?

It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 56 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.

Which WordPress version does it need?

Requires a block theme on WordPress 7.0. Classic themes and page builders are outside our supported setup. Adaptive patterns use the block theme’s colour, spacing and typography presets; styled variations declare their own colours or type.

The markup

22KB of core-block markup, 7 blocks (button, buttons, column, columns, group, heading, paragraph), and nothing else: paste it into the block editor and it becomes editable blocks wearing your theme.
