Invalidating locations from outside the UK when creating job alerts

Whilst reviewing the job alerts and preferences journeys in October 23, we noticed people could input any location into their job alert despite the service only covering jobs in England.

To help clarify, we’ve introduced some hint text on the location text input and will be alerting users with an error message if they try to add a location not within the United Kingdom.

We have not restricted the locations people enter to England only as people may want to travel across the border to a school in England.
