Add Defence Works to your home screen
Save Defence Works as an app icon on your phone so today's UK defence and security cleared vacancies are always one tap away. It works through your existing browser — nothing to download from an app store.

On iPhone or iPad
You'll need Apple's Safari browser for this — Chrome on iPhone can't add home screen icons.
- Open defence-jobs.co.uk in Safari.
- Tap the Share icon — the square with an arrow pointing up, in the middle or bottom of the toolbar.
- Scroll down the share sheet and tap “Add to Home Screen”.
- Change the name if you'd like something shorter, then tap “Add” in the top corner.
- An icon now sits on your home screen. Tap it any time to open Defence Works full screen.
On Android
This works in Chrome, and most other Android browsers follow the same steps.
- Open defence-jobs.co.uk in Chrome.
- Tap the menu button — the three dots (⋮) in the top-right corner.
- Tap “Add to Home screen”, or “Install app” if that's the option you see.
- Confirm by tapping “Add” or “Install”.
- The icon is added to your home screen (and possibly your app drawer). Tap it to open Defence Works full screen.
If your phone's browser offers a “Add to Home screen” option in a different place, such as a plus symbol in the address bar, that works too.
Good to know
- It's an icon, not an app store download — no storage space beyond a normal bookmark, and nothing to update.
- Opening the icon launches Defence Works on its own, without your other browser tabs in the way.
- Removing it works like deleting any other icon: press and hold, then choose Remove or Delete.
- If you delete the icon, you can always add it again from the same browser steps above.
