Not been in this position for many years so please bear with me!
Have applied for a position with a local authority, never expected to hear back from them.
SURPRISE, they want a Zoom interview on Monday, the page the position was listed on has been removed so I have no job description or person spec!!
Is it Ok to email them & ask for them to forward these to me (it's not a senior position if that matters)?
Yes I know, in future I'll do things differently but this is all new to me.

I’d certainly ask, but explain why you’re asking. You want to avoid looking like you’ve applied for a load of jobs and this was just one of them… So, say you were very interested, etc. but in order to be as prepared as possible for the interview could they send the job spec over as it’s no longer available for you to refer to…
That would be my approach, anyway…

It should be absolutely fine. I would suggest phoning their HR department rather than emailing so that you get a quicker response.Have applied for a position with a local authority, never expected to hear back from them.
