The placements must be new roles which have been created especially for the scheme, and mustn't take work away from existing (or planned) employees or contractors. The scheme is open to any employer in any industry.

Specifically, employers will receive funding for 100% of the relevant national minimum wage for 25 hours a week, plus associated employer national insurance contributions and employer minimum auto-enrolment pension contributions. Placements are fully subsidised by the government, and there's also extra funding to support young people to build their experience and help them move into sustained employment after they've completed their Kickstart-funded job. The scheme is now open and will run until at least December 2021. The new £2 billion Kickstart Scheme will create hundreds of thousands of new, fully subsidised jobs for young people across the country. Employers will create six-month placements that will be open to people aged 16-24 who are claiming universal credit.
