Employer - What must I do if I receive the error 'NHS Jobs Future Service was in a strange state - either the vacancy was closed or has been unpublished'?

The error message means the job listing has already transferred to NHS Jobs draft section.

Once transferred, the job may have been closed in error or you’re trying to use an old job in Trac that's already closed.

To publish your job listing:

1. Close the current job on Trac.
2. Copy the job listing information in Trac.
3. Edit the job listing reference number in Trac to be a unique reference - this must be less than 19 characters in length.
4. Publish the new job in Trac.
5. Publish the new listing in NHS Jobs.
