You can not use a comma separated list in a query. Just won't work that way.
Parse the values into a temp table (easy), table variable or table value function and use that.
I'm thinking you should use a temp table.

or do


SELECT dj.EntityId, dj.Title, dj.[Description], dj.MediaCodeId, dj.SubCategoryId, dj.CustomerId, dj.SalaryFromId, dj.SalaryToId, dj.HoursId, dj.ContractTypeId
FROM Dir_Jobs dj
join Dir_Enitiy 
on EntityId = dj.EntityId
WHERE ',' + @PostcodeList + ',' LIKE '%,' + Location +',%'
