Is it free to advertise a job on Jobcentre?
Quick answer
Yes. GOV.UK describes Find a Job, the current online service associated with Jobcentre vacancy advertising, as a free job search and employer posting service.
Start from GOV.UK
Use the official Advertise your vacancies guidance to reach Find a Job. Starting at GOV.UK reduces the risk of landing on an outdated service name or a third party that charges for something the government provides free.
What the free service does and does not do
The service lets employers create an account and publish genuine vacancies for jobseekers. Free publication does not guarantee applicants or remove the need for a clear advert. You remain responsible for lawful wording, accurate pay and working conditions, a valid application method and closing the vacancy when it is no longer available.
Use complementary channels deliberately
For hard-to-fill work, add a relevant specialist board or your own careers page rather than copying the vacancy everywhere. CorporateJob offers paid Standard and Premium bookings and lets employers manage applications from a recruiter account.
