  As a belt and braces approach you could try using something like visualping.io (others are available) to monitor the URL https://recruitment.raf.mod.uk/apply/applying-for?c=15&r=293&type=regular and check when the wording "THIS ROLE IS CURRENTLY CLOSED FOR NEW APPLICATIONS.

  If you're looking for a turn-key solution, I'd have to dig a little. I generally write a scraper in python that dumps into a database or flat file (depending on number of records I'm hunting). Scraping is a separate subject, but once you write one you can generally reuse relevant portions for many others. If you can get adept at a scraping framework like Scrapy you can do it fairly quickly, but there aren't many... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
