GovUKJobs

Looking for work? Let employers find you

A profile on GovUKJobs is free and stays online for 12 months. It works in two directions: you search jobs across the UK and employers search for you. Employers see your occupation, region, hours per week and availability, never your e-mail address.

By GovUKJobs ยท updated

Create a short profile. Employers who are hiring see your occupation, region and availability. Always free for candidates.

Opening soon Sign-up is not open yet. You can preview the form; submitting will be possible soon.

Only your town or region. No street, house number or postcode.

Employers read this text. Do not put a name, phone number, e-mail address or link in it; those are refused. Maximum 500 characters.

Only for the confirmation and for hiring requests we pass on to you. Employers never see this address.

You will receive an e-mail with a confirmation link. Your profile is only visible after you use that link. Without confirmation we delete the sign-up after 48 hours.

What to expect

Looking for work in 4 steps

  1. Search jobs across the UK on the homepage by occupation and place, or swipe through them in Match Mode.
  2. Keep what appeals to you in your shortlist; it stays on your own device, without an account.
  3. Apply through the original advertisement, or through the application form for a job posted on GovUKJobs.
  4. Create a free profile below: employers who are hiring see your occupation, region and availability, and send a request if they want to hire you.

Looking for work without an account

Searching, Match Mode and the shortlist work without an account. We only ask for an e-mail address when you create a profile: for the confirmation and for requests from employers. Employers never see it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a job faster?

Search broadly: by occupation and by place, keep several jobs in your shortlist and apply through the original advertisement. Also create a free profile, so employers who are hiring can find you.

Can I look for work without a CV?

Yes. You make a profile on GovUKJobs without a CV: you enter your occupation, your region, your hours per week, when you are available and a short text. A CV is not needed.

Does a profile on GovUKJobs cost money?

No. GovUKJobs is always free for candidates.

What do employers see of my profile?

Your occupation, your region, your hours per week, when you are available and your short text. They never see your e-mail address. Your name and phone number are only shared if you choose to.

How does an employer get in touch with me?

An employer sends a hiring request through GovUKJobs. We put it to you and you decide, request by request, whether your name and contact details are shared. Without your yes, nothing is shared.

How long does my profile stay online?

12 months after you confirm it. After that we delete it automatically. You can delete it sooner at any time through Delete my profile.

What do I need to sign up?

Your occupation, your region or the first part of your postcode, your hours per week, when you are available and an e-mail address for the confirmation. You can also add a phone number, but you do not have to.

Can I claim benefits or Universal Credit here?

Here you let employers find you for a job; we help you with that first. Claims are made on GOV.UK: Universal Credit and Jobseeker's Allowance are claimed on the GOV.UK pages. GovUKJobs does not take or process any claim.
