For employers
Reach motivated young apprentices — the right way.
How it works
Vacancies on NextStep UK come directly from the official GOV.UK Find an apprenticeship service. If you already publish there, your vacancy appears here automatically — there is nothing extra to do, and no cost.
Every listing links straight back to your official advert. We never take applications on your behalf, so your applicant flow and data stay exactly where they are today.
Why publish on GOV.UK?
- It is the free, official channel for apprenticeship vacancies in England.
- Vacancies reach every downstream service (including NextStep UK) automatically.
- Young people trust the source — which means better-matched applicants.
Getting better applicants from us
- Write the skills you actually want in the "skills required" field — we surface those directly to candidates and use them in our CV Builder.
- Be specific about the qualification, working pattern and wage; young people filter on all three.
- Keep closing dates accurate so we don't show an expired advert.
