GRADUATE JOB SEARCH · UK & IRELAND
Where to find tech and finance graduate jobs for 2027.
Use more than one route. Graduate sites help you explore; employer careers pages confirm what is open and where to apply. GradGap is building a focused, phone-first way to bring those steps together.

Start with the employer source.
For a role you want, open the employer’s own careers page before you apply. Check the current deadline, location, eligibility, work-rights requirements and application link there. Graduate schemes may close as places fill, so a date copied onto another site should not be your final check. Prospects’ graduate-scheme timeline says many 2027-start schemes accept applications from September or October 2026; individual employers set their own dates.
A useful search routine: shortlist a role, verify it on the employer site, save the direct link, note the deadline and record when you applied. That simple trail helps when several schemes have similar names or stages.
Use the sites that fit your search.
These are distinct routes, not a ranking. Listings and features change, so check each site directly before relying on a result.
- Employer careers pagesThe final source for whether an opening is still available and how to submit an application. Search employers you care about directly, including banks, fintech firms and technology teams outside the best-known companies.
- Prospects and targetjobsBroad UK graduate-job and scheme searches, with career guidance alongside listings.
- Bright NetworkUK graduate roles, internships and application-deadline tools.
- gradirelandAn Ireland-focused starting point for graduate programmes, internships and entry-level opportunities.
- GradGap · private betaA focused iPhone app for UK and Ireland technology and finance graduates: roles checked against employer sources, short briefs, employer-site applications from your phone and manual tracking. Request access by mobile number; TestFlight invites are sent in batches.
Make a shortlist you can act on.
- Choose a lane. Start with technology, finance or a specific path such as software engineering, data, banking technology or risk. Include cities you would actually consider in both countries.
- Check the level. A “graduate scheme” and an “entry-level job” are different routes. Read the experience and graduation requirements rather than assuming from the title.
- Check the source. Confirm that the employer still accepts applications, and record the direct application page and deadline where one is published.
- Track your own progress. Save what you applied for, the date, and the next step. Keep the employer’s confirmation or reference separately.
If you are searching on your phone, GradGap’s private beta is designed to make the discovery, application and tracking steps work together. It is a specialist addition to your search while access is limited.
