Good to know

About this list

Where the jobs come from

17 job boards and employers, listed at the foot of this page, gathered into one place so you don't have to search each site.

Where the jobs are

In Gravesend and close by, including Northfleet, Ebbsfleet and Meopham.

How current it is

Last updated 6 Oct 2026. Jobs leave the list after their closing date, though employers sometimes close a role early.

How to apply

On the employer's or job board's own site, from the advert. peek.town doesn't take applications or see your details.

Help and advice

Help finding work

The Jobcentre helps with job searching and benefits, and the National Careers Service gives free careers and CV advice. For new skills, try Kent Adult Education in Gravesend or North Kent College.

Checks you may need

Every employer checks your right to work in the UK. Roles with children or vulnerable adults also need a DBS check, which the employer usually arranges.

Staying safe

Be wary of an advert that asks you to pay for the job, or for bank details before an offer. Paying for a certificate such as a CSCS card is different. Report fake adverts to JobsAware.
