'Complete Later' function error
Since Sunday 7 June 2026, there has been an error with the application portal not allowing applicants to re-access their application forms after using the 'complete later' function within CiAnywhere.
When Applicants re-access their application using the link in their email to ‘resume application’, they are taken to the portal when an error message pops up stating ‘token not found’. This is being investigated by our technical team.
Whilst the problem persists, applicants are advised to use an external source to compile their application responses and then copy and paste this into the application portal in one go. This will avoid having to use the 'complete later' function. The layout of the application form can be found within this guidance: Information for applicants.
We are working hard to resolve this issue as quickly as possible and will provide an update on this page when the portal is working as intended. If you have any queries regarding this, please contact us by email at recruitment@westyorks-ca.gov.uk.
It is important that you demonstrate how your breadth of experience, knowledge and skills align with the role when applying. We have therefore created comprehensive guidance for candidates, and you are strongly urged to read this before completing your application form. Please visit our Advice for Candidates webpage to find this guidance and further support in completing your application form.
