Part-time
Weekly, ongoing
Apprenticeship
Earn while you train
Internship
Fixed-term, hands-on
Temporary
Short cover roles
Seasonal
Summer & festive
No senior roles, no generic job-board sprawl. Tern is built for career stage, not age — school leavers, students, apprentices, and anyone taking their first real step.
How it works
Two sides, one honest process.
Whether you're starting out or hiring someone who is, Tern keeps the path short and the trust real.
For job seekers
- 1
Build your Potential Snapshot
Skills, interests, qualifications, portfolio, even a short video intro — the things that show who you are, not just where you've worked.
- 2
Get verified, with a guardian if you're 16 or 17
A quick ID check, plus a simple consent step for a parent or guardian. No stranger reaches you until this is done.
- 3
Apply in one tap
Your profile and CV attach automatically. Add a short note if you want to — that's it, under 90 seconds.
For employers
- 1
Verify your business
Submit your registration details once. Every business on Tern is reviewed before they can post — so every applicant trusts you back.
- 2
Post a role in under two minutes
Pick a type — part-time, apprenticeship, internship, temporary or seasonal — and the form adapts. Transparent pay is required, not optional.
- 3
Review real applicants, not a CV pile
Rich candidate profiles, downloadable CVs, and a shortlist board. You never browse — only people who actually applied.
Trust & safety
Built to be trusted by parents, not just users.
In a small community, reputations travel fast. Tern's safety model isn't a feature list bolted on afterward — it's the architecture.
Verified before anything else
Employers can't publish and job seekers can't apply until they're verified. It's the one gate everything else sits behind.
Guardian consent for 16 & 17 year olds
A parent or guardian confirms they know their child is using Tern, before an account can go further than building a profile.
No employer browsing, ever
Employers only ever see candidates who applied to their own vacancies. There's no search-by-candidate feature anywhere in Tern — by design, not by setting.
No open messaging
Every message is a structured template — interview invites, information requests, status updates. No free text, no unsupervised chat, no way for a stranger to just message a candidate.
For employers
Hire for potential, not a name on a CV.
Tern gives you rich, honest candidate profiles — skills, projects, video intros — from people who've already chosen to apply. Less filtering, more signal.
- Post part-time, apprenticeship, internship, temporary and seasonal roles
