Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what support his Department provides to employers on posting part-time vacancies including job share roles on the Universal Jobmatch website.

Universal Jobmatch is a self-service job posting service available to all employers.

Employers who require additional support can contact the Employer Services Line on 0800 169 0178 to get practical support and advice about recruitment. This includes technical assistance, advice on the wording of vacancies and signposting to local Jobcentre plus offices. There is also an online “contact us” facility on the website and a Universal Jobmatch employers’ frequently asked questions facility on Gov.uk.
