Free UK CV templates (2026)
Twelve CV designs for UK applications, each with a page on who it suits and how to fill it. Pick a design, then let Vouch build it from your experience.
UK CVs follow their own conventions: two pages, no photo, a personal statement at the top, and reverse-chronological work history. Every template below respects them. The design is the look a human sees; for the applicant tracking system, Vouch always exports clean single-column text. Read a template's page to see when it fits, or start straight away in the CV builder.
