A simpler route from job search to a prepared application
A voluntary signposting pilot for councils, employment services, libraries and community organisations.
Gryffin Work brings opportunities from multiple connected sources into one search experience, with English and Persian interfaces, source links and optional application-draft preparation. Residents can browse without registering.
The proposed resident journey
- An adviser introduces the independent service.
- The resident searches by role or place and checks the original advert.
- If useful, the resident creates their own account and enables drafts and alerts.
- The resident reviews the draft, applies through the source and records the real outcome.
What is working now
- Cross-region search without a required city.
- Source and freshness information, explained matching and CV-based drafts.
- Application tracking, account-scoped data, export and work-data deletion.
- A getting-started page and organisational pilot-interest form.
Coverage and independence
See the source directory and collection status. Availability varies; this is not every UK vacancy or every listing from a listed source. Original adverts must be checked. Displaying vacancies does not establish permission to submit applications.
No council, DWP or government endorsement is claimed. Gryffin Work can complement official search services.
A suggested six-week pilot
Agree one signposting team, a support contact and a voluntary cohort. The cohort does not restrict residents’ search geography. Provide assisted browsing for people who need it.
Proposed measures: time to find a useful vacancy, working source links, ease of use and resident feedback. Application and employment outcomes need separate confirmation; draft counts are not job outcomes.
Resident control
A referral gives the organisation no access to an individual’s CV or application history. Begin without transferring resident case records. Any future personal-data sharing needs a defined purpose, roles and an appropriate agreement.
Core jobseeker tools are free. Optional organisational support would be separately scoped and priced. Selling resident data is not part of this proposal.
Before public referrals begin
The public service is work.gryffin.uk. Confirm the legal operator and reply contacts, support and incident arrangements, accessibility testing and statement, retention and privacy information, source-use permissions and pilot terms. WCAG conformance has not been independently assessed. The private operator workspace prepares dated request records and review worksheets; it does not grant permissions. No purchase or official acceptance is implied.
The meeting request
A 20-minute demonstration with the employment or digital-inclusion team, followed by a decision on a small signposting pilot and its acceptance criteria. This is a proposal for evaluation, not a claim of proven employment impact.
Background: GOV.UK Find a job · Connect to Work · Public-sector accessibility guidance · ICO data-sharing agreements. Updated 6 October 2026. Legal operator details and business reply contacts must be supplied by the presenter before distributing a request.
