GovUKJobs terms of use
Version 1, 8 November 2026. By using govukjobs.com or the GovUKJobs app you agree to these terms. How we handle personal data is in the privacy statement.
1. Who we are
GovUKJobs is a private job site and browser app for the UK, run by Sucess Sociedad Civil, NIF J76775147, Avenida Marítima 29, 38530 Candelaria, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. Contact: hello@govukjobs.com. GovUKJobs is not a government body and does not speak or act for any government department, council, the NHS or any other public body.
2. What the service does
- You can search jobs by occupation and place, swipe through them in Match Mode and keep a shortlist on your own device, for free and without an account.
- Jobs come from external job sources and from employers who post directly on GovUKJobs. We show a listing as the source published it and link to the original advertisement, where you apply. We do not take part in the hiring decision and do not guarantee that a job is still open, accurate or suitable for you.
- Candidates can create a free profile so employers can find them. Employers can post jobs and search candidates for free.
3. Benefits, Universal Credit and Jobcentres
GovUKJobs does not take, process or decide any benefit claim and gives no benefits advice. The buttons for Universal Credit, Jobseeker's Allowance and Jobcentre Plus open the relevant GOV.UK page in a new tab. Claims are made and decided there, under the rules of that service.
4. Rules for employers
- Post only real jobs that you are entitled to advertise, with accurate details about the employer, pay, hours and location.
- No discrimination that the Equality Act 2010 prohibits, no misleading or unlawful content, and no job that asks candidates to pay a fee to get work.
- Up to 25 open jobs per account; a job stays online for 60 days unless you close it sooner. We may remove a job or an account that breaks these terms.
- You are responsible for how you use applications and candidate details you receive, and for your own privacy notice towards applicants.
5. Rules for candidates and reviewers
- Give accurate information in your profile, applications and reviews, and do not put other people's personal data in your text.
- A hiring request does not share your name or contact details until you say yes to that request.
- Reviews are read by us before they are shown; we may reject a review that is abusive, unlawful or not about the service.
6. Acceptable use
Do not scrape the service at scale, overload it, try to break its security or use it to send spam. We may block use that does.
7. Sources, licences and attribution
- Teaching Vacancies listings: Department for Education. This contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
- NHS Jobs listings link to the NHS Jobs service, where the advertiser publishes them.
- Place names: GeoNames, licensed under CC BY 4.0.
8. Costs
Searching, a candidate profile, posting jobs and searching candidates are free. If an employer wants paid recruitment, headhunting or temporary staff through our partners, the terms are agreed with that employer in writing before anything is charged. Payments never go through this site or the app.
9. Liability
We provide the service as it is and work to keep it available and accurate, but we cannot promise that it is uninterrupted or error free. We are not responsible for the content of external job listings or the sites they link to. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory consumer rights.
10. Changes and law
We may update these terms; the date above shows the current version. These terms are governed by Spanish law. If you use the service as a consumer, you keep the mandatory consumer protection of the country where you live, and you can bring a claim in the courts there.
