Please email final copy as a Word document (.doc) and a logo (.jpg) to Michael Sharp at admin@archaeologists.net by 5pm on a Wednesday for your advert to go into the next Monday's bulletin. If you do not receive a reply within 48 hours, please get in touch to check we have received your advert.
Advertising a training role? Please refer to the CIfA policies document on the use of training posts, Section 2.4 pp11-12. Further guidance and links to example training plans can be found here.
Advertising an invitation to tender? We expect organisations to ensure their tender invitations comply with the Code of conduct and relevant CIfA Standards when calculating the tender value. We don't regularly monitor individual tenders but will ask for further information if our members raise concerns about specific adverts.
Please note, firm quotes can only be provided on receipt of full advert text and there may be an extra charge for any revisions. It is the advertiser's responsibility to provide all relevant details in their advert, including web links, salary and a closing date.
While we do not control advertisements that appear in the bulletin, if any adverts appear to raise issues of employment practice, we will contact the advertising organisation to address these issues. This includes compliance with the UK National Minimum Wage.
