Access to Workplus
You may access some areas of the Workplus website without registering. Other areas of the Workplus platform require an account.
We do not guarantee that Workplus, or any content on it, will always be available or uninterrupted. Access may be suspended, restricted or withdrawn for maintenance, security, system failure, service changes or reasons beyond our control.
You are responsible for ensuring that anyone who accesses Workplus through your internet connection or account is aware of these Terms and complies with them.
Accounts and passwords
If you create an account or are provided with login details, you must keep your login details confidential and must not share them with anyone else.
You must provide accurate and up-to-date information when creating and using an account. You must promptly notify us if you know or suspect that anyone else knows your login details or has accessed your account without permission.
We may disable any account, user identification code or password at any time if we reasonably believe you have failed to comply with these Terms, if there is a security concern, or if we need to protect Workplus, our users or our services.
Use by Career Explorers and applicants
Career Explorers may use Workplus to explore employers, careers, opportunities, events, resources and related information.
Applicants may use Workplus to apply for opportunities and manage application-related information.
Career Explorers and applicants are responsible for ensuring that the information they provide is accurate, complete, up to date and not misleading. You must not submit information on behalf of another person unless you have appropriate authority or consent to do so.
Submitting an application through Workplus does not guarantee that you will be shortlisted, interviewed, offered employment, offered an apprenticeship, offered training, offered work experience or accepted onto any opportunity.
Employers are responsible for their own recruitment, selection, employment and training decisions. Workplus does not employ applicants unless this is expressly stated in relation to a specific role.
Use by parents, guardians, teachers, careers advisers and supporters
Supporters may use Workplus resources to help Career Explorers and applicants understand employers, careers, applications and opportunities.
Supporters must not create accounts, submit applications or provide personal data on behalf of a Career Explorer or applicant unless they have appropriate authority or consent to do so.
Use by employers and employer users
Employers may create an account on the Workplus platform to manage their organisation profile, submit information about their organisation, upload or provide images, video links, logos, copy, opportunity details and related content, manage applications, participate in campaigns and access related services.
Employers are responsible for:
ensuring that all employer profile content and opportunity information is accurate, lawful, up to date and not misleading;
ensuring they have the necessary rights, permissions and consents to provide content to Workplus;
ensuring that public-facing content does not include personal data unless this has been agreed with Workplus and the relevant individual has been informed and, where necessary, has given consent;
complying with applicable employment, equality, immigration, safeguarding, health and safety, data protection and advertising laws;
their own recruitment, selection, interview, offer, employment and onboarding decisions;
communications with applicants outside the Workplus platform;
ensuring that employer users keep login details secure and use the platform appropriately.
Workplus may review, edit for formatting, decline to publish or remove employer content where we reasonably consider it inaccurate, unlawful, inappropriate, outdated, inconsistent with Workplus’ services or likely to cause harm to Workplus, users or third parties.
Employer profile and opportunity content
By providing employer profile content, opportunity information, logos, images, video links, copy or other materials to Workplus, the employer confirms that it has the right to provide that content and grants Workplus a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, copy, edit for formatting, publish, display, distribute and promote that content for the purpose of delivering and promoting Workplus services, campaigns and opportunities.
Employers retain ownership of their own content, but Workplus may use that content as reasonably necessary to provide the agreed services and promote relevant opportunities.
No guarantee of outcomes
Workplus aims to make it easier for Career Explorers, applicants, employers and partners to connect around opportunities. However, Workplus does not guarantee:
that any Career Explorer or applicant will secure employment, an apprenticeship, training, work experience, a placement, an interview or any other opportunity;
that any employer will receive a particular number or quality of applications;
that an opportunity will remain available;
that an employer, partner, college, university, training provider or other third party will take any particular action;
that any information provided by employers or third parties will always be complete, accurate or up to date.
Any specific commitments agreed with an employer or partner must be set out in separate written terms.
