Search public Reed UK job listings by keyword and location. Filter by distance, salary range, contract type, working hours, working option and posting age. Each job has the id, title, url, a short description snippet, contract type, working hours, working option, salary (figures with period and currency, or the label Reed shows when the figures are hidden), location, recruiter (name, profile and type), and ISO 8601 UTC dates (Reed sends no timezone, values are read as UTC). Pages hold 25 jobs: pagination has the total results, total pages and has_more. A page past the last one and a search without matches are successful empty responses.
