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. PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST AND WE WILL BE IN TOUCH WHEN IT REOPENS." disappears, and it will send you an email when it detects a change. Source: about 1 year ago
Also I was using https://visualping.io/ to track the change. Like you can track the change on the button change for that particular page ( like the button being now back in stock instead of grayed out). Source: about 1 year ago
Statuscake.com if you just need a simple up/down monitor. Source: almost 2 years ago
I've had a great time with statuscake.com for my personal and friends sites. They've even improved custom status pages to include an automatically signed certificate too, so you can make a site like status.yourdomain.com... Test TCP connection, specific HTTP/HTTPS query etc. 5 minute intervals for free, more with paid plans. Source: about 2 years ago
I use statuscake.com for external stuff and nagios for internal. PRTG is good too. Source: about 2 years ago
I use statuscake.com for all my personal / friend sites. There seems to be no limit to number of sites to monitor for basic 5 minute intervals in the free account. Source: over 2 years ago
