The Job descriptions for five consecutively advertised consultant posts in psychiatry of old age were surveyed for the content and clarity of the information provided and for the adequacy of the resources described. Only one post provided a job description which came close to meeting our audit criteria. Employers may optimise the number and quality of applicants for consultant posts in psychiatry of old age by providing Job descriptions which contain both clearly written and comprehensively detailed information.
