Last updated: 13 August 2026

Relevance

Listings should relate to genuine employment, paid engagement, internships, trustee or volunteer opportunities, or other legitimate roles relevant to charities, nonprofits, NGOs, housing associations, social enterprises, community organisations or closely related social-impact work.

Accuracy

Job title, employer, location, employment type, salary information, closing date and application route should be accurate to the best of the publisher's knowledge. Employers submitting directly are responsible for the information they provide.

Practical terms

Where available, listings should make salary, hours, contract type, location and remote or hybrid expectations clear enough for candidates to assess whether the role is suitable.

Application routes

A vacancy should lead to a genuine employer-controlled or authorised recruitment route. We may refuse or remove listings where the destination is misleading, unsafe or unrelated to the advertised role.

Prohibited listings

We do not knowingly publish fraudulent vacancies, misleading business opportunities disguised as jobs, unlawful discriminatory advertising, requests for inappropriate upfront payments, unrelated commercial advertising or vacancies that impersonate another organisation.

Closing dates and removal

Current-job searches exclude vacancies after their recorded closing date. A listing may also be removed earlier if the employer confirms that recruitment has closed, the source disappears or the information is no longer reliable.

Reporting a concern

If you believe a vacancy is misleading, closed, inaccurate or unsafe, use our Contact page and include the job title, organisation and URL. We can review the listing and take appropriate action.
