Job centre advertise a job

Employer guideReviewed UK guidance

Quick answer

Employers looking for the Jobcentre vacancy service should use GOV.UK Find a Job. It is the government’s official free job advertising service and requires an employer account and a genuine vacancy.

Use the current government service

The modern route is Find a Job rather than submitting a paper advert to a local Jobcentre. Follow the employer link from GOV.UK, create or access the employer account, provide the vacancy details and complete any checks requested by the service. Government pages and interfaces can change, so begin from GOV.UK rather than an old bookmark or third-party tutorial.

Prepare the vacancy before you start

A complete draft reduces errors between channels. Keep a dated master copy so updates can be made everywhere.

Add a second relevant route when needed

A government listing can be combined with CorporateJob or a sector-specific board when the role needs a different audience. Each advert should lead to one controlled application process. Close every published copy when recruitment ends so candidates are not sent to an expired opportunity.

Source and accuracy

Platform prices, allowances and interfaces can change. This guide was reviewed on the date above; confirm current terms at GOV.UK: Advertise your vacancies before publishing or paying.
