CareerZone FAQs

Registering and advertising your opportunity on CareerZone is free of charge.

All currently enrolled Westminster students who have registered with CareerZone can browse any information on the platform. They can continue to do so for three years after graduation.

This means over 20,000 Westminster students and graduates, with a wide range of skills and experience, will be able to view your vacancies.

Employer registrations are open to anyone looking to employ a student or graduate. Please note we are only able to promote opportunities that meet our Terms of Service.

You can register for CareerZone, subject to approval by our team, by registering directly on the CareerZone site.

Each contact at your organisation will have a separate username and password. You can add and delete contacts on CareerZone and manage them within the system.

If you're not sure whether you've registered before, click on ‘Organisation sign in’ and then select ’Forgotten your password?’. Enter the email you're likely to have registered with to reset your details.

If you do not receive a password reset email within an hour in your inbox or junk mail folder, please register as a new user or email

After you have registered as an employer, you can advertise a job by selecting the appropriate fields in the system. One of our team will then approve your opportunity. Once live, your advert will be visible to over 20,000 current students and recent graduates.

To edit details of your opportunity, please log in to your CareerZone account and edit the posting. This will then be submitted to the careers team for re-approval.

As an employer, it is your duty to ensure all statutory legal requirements within the country of employment are met prior to advertising your opportunity. In particular, in the UK you need to be aware of the following regulations:

  • National Minimum Wage Act (1998)
  • The Equality Act (2010)
  • Children’s Act (2004) and Working Time Regulations (1998) concerning safe working hours for all employees
  • Payment of tax or organisation of tax exemption arrangements, National Insurance contributions, or submission of Declaration of Income forms (P38) as necessary, to HM
  • Revenue and Customs (Inland Revenue)
  • Full occupational Health and Safety regulation, including adherence to the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
  • Employers’ Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969
  • Data Protection Act 2018

The University of Westminster is committed to social mobility and ensuring that all our students have equal and fair access to opportunities. For this reason, we are not able to advertise opportunities that:

  • Do not meet the National Minimum Wage unless they are short-term and are part of a course offered by the University of Westminster, or are volunteering for a UK-registered charity

  • Pay on a commission-only basis, with no guarantee that the National Minimum Wage will be met.

For more information, see our Terms of Service for Recruiting Organisations.

If you are offering an exclusive role to Westminster students or recent graduates, we may be able to host your interviews on campus, free of charge. For further information and to check room availability, please contact the Business Engagement and Graduate Futures Team at .
