Guardian Jobs Scraper: UK Charity, Media, Public

Extract UK job listings from Guardian Jobs (jobs.theguardian.com). Returns 28+ fields per row: title, employer, salary (GBP min/max), location, sector, contract type, hours, closing date, description, apply URL, plus employer phone, address, website and about text when present. Pay per result.

What You Get

• sector: Guardian Jobs' own 16+ sector taxonomy (Charities, Media, Education, Government and Politics, Arts and Heritage, Health, etc.) -- applied editorially, not inferred from the job title
• contract_type / hours: Permanent, Contract, Temporary, or Voluntary with Full time / Part time from the JSON-LD schema on every listing
• closing_date: Application deadline from the listing detail page -- present on most Guardian Jobs listings, which include strict deadlines unlike most commercial boards
• salary_min / salary_max in GBP: Structured from the schema.org JSON-LD job posting embedded in every listing, not regex on free text
• company_phone / company_address_*: Employer telephone number and full postal address from the employer profile page (full mode) -- rare and valuable for outreach teams
• company_active_jobs / company_active_jobs_count: All other currently-open roles at the same employer (deep employer mode) -- deduplicated per employer within a run

Who Should Use This

This actor is the specialist tool for UK third-sector recruiters, public-sector job aggregators, and outbound charity-sector sales teams. Guardian Jobs is a hand-curated board with far higher signal-to-noise for charity, media, education, and public-sector roles than any generalist aggregator. The employer phone and postal address fields -- retrieved from Guardian's own employer profile pages -- are genuinely rare in job data and turn this into a lead-generation feed as much as a job listing source. Outreach teams combine the employer contact fields with the deep-employer mode to get every open role at a target organisation in a single query.
