Barnsley CVS Jobs Scraper

Scrape the barnsleycvs.org.uk Webflow-hosted job board. The /jobs listing renders every vacancy server-side with title, employer, salary (parsed), and closing date. Optional detail enrichment fetches each /job-positions/<slug> page for the full HTML description. JSON or CSV out, no compute charge per run, just per result.

How it works

✨ Why use this scraper?

Barnsley CVS hosts the town's voluntary-sector jobs board for member charities — children's services, fundraising, project work, finance, community engagement. Tracking Barnsley nonprofit hiring? Building a regional South Yorkshire dashboard? Looking for partner orgs by employer?

• 🎯 Two starting points. The /jobs listing URL (default) or any direct /job-positions/<slug> URL (filters the listing).
• ⚡ Single HTTP call for the listing. Webflow renders every CMS Collection item server-side — title, employer, salary, closing date all inline.
• 📋 Detail-page enrichment. Optional one-fetch-per-job to extract the full HTML description from /job-positions/<slug>.
• 💰 Salary parsed. "£26,403 - £28,142 per annum" → structured {currency, min, max, raw}.
• 📅 Closing date inline. Card's "Deadline: …" line captured.
• 🏙️ Barnsley focus. Member charities — GROW, Roundabout Ltd, Barnsley CVS itself, Rotherham Federation of Communities Ltd, and more.
• 📤 Clean exports. One row per vacancy with optional full HTML description. JSON + CSV exported automatically.

🎯 Use cases

Team	What they build
Barnsley CVS members	Cross-charity recruitment intelligence in their own borough
South Yorkshire CVS network	Aggregate with VA Rotherham + Sheffield for regional dashboards
Funders	Salary intelligence across small Barnsley charities

Volunteer co-ordinators	Track partner orgs hiring for paid roles

📥 Supported inputs

URL pattern	Behaviour
https://barnsleycvs.org.uk/jobs	Full listing (default)
https://barnsleycvs.org.uk/job-positions/<slug>	Single job — fetches the listing and filters to that slug

Leave startUrls empty for the full listing.

Not supported: hosts outside barnsleycvs.org.uk.

🔄 How it works

1. Fetch the /jobs listing once (Webflow SSR HTML).
2. Find every .collection-item-job-position block using cheerio.
3. For each card, extract:
   • .job-position-name → title + slug
   • Three .info-job-wrappr blocks in order: employer, deadline, salary
4. For each card (when enrichDetail: true), fetch /job-positions/<slug> for the full HTML description.
5. Push one normalised row per vacancy to the dataset.

⚙️ Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
startUrls	array	["https://barnsleycvs.org.uk/jobs"]	Listing URL or single-job URLs (slug filter).
enrichDetail	boolean	true	When true, fetches each /job-positions/<slug> page for the full HTML description. Disable to skip — listing alone gives title, employer, salary, closing date.
maxItems	integer	1000	Hard cap on rows pushed (typically 5-10 live).
maxConcurrency	integer	3	Parallel detail-page fetch limit.
maxRequestRetries	integer	5	Retries before a failed request is given up.
proxy	object	No proxy	Webflow CDN does not anti-bot.

📊 Output overview

Each scraped vacancy is one single dataset row of type: "job". Listing fields merged with optional detail-page HTML description.

❓ FAQ

Why is applyType always "internal"? Barnsley CVS cards don't surface an mailto: or outbound URL — the "Learn more" button goes to their own /job-positions/<slug> page where the applicant follows the charity's own instructions. The actor preserves the BCVS URL in applyUrl.

Why are some closing dates verbose ("10 am 18th May 2026")? The deadline value comes verbatim from the Webflow CMS — charities format it freely. We don't normalise to ISO because the format varies.

Why is location always "Barnsley, South Yorkshire"? Barnsley CVS doesn't tag location per job — every member is in the borough. Set as a constant for downstream geocoding consistency.

Can I scrape private pages or applicant data? No. Only the public /jobs listing and public /job-positions/<slug> pages.

How do I limit results? Set maxItems. With only 5-10 live vacancies, maxItems: 100 covers everything.
