аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û2023 JOB ADVERTISEMENTS

Introduction of Charges for Advertising Job Adverts in the Bulletins.

We're writing to inform you about an upcoming change regarding the advertising of job vacancies in our jobs bulletin.

As you may have noticed, we have not applied charges for advertising job adverts in our bulletin for the past few years. However, after careful consideration and in line with our strategic planning, we will be implementing a nominal fee for this service effective June 2024. 

 
This decision was not made lightly. We understand that changes like these may require adjustments on your end, and we want to assure you that our aim is to continue providing a valuable platform for connecting members with opportunities while also ensuring the
sustainability and growth of аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û2023.

The new charges will be detailed as follows:

Organisation Turnover (per
annum)                                               		 ‘Music Therapist’ role ‘Non-music Therapist’ role
 Corporate Organisations
(inc NHS and other
statutory sector
departments) with a
turnover of more than
£250,000		£300+VAT £500+VAT 
 Music Therapy/other
organisations with a
turnover between £100,000
- £250,000		£200+VAT  £400+VAT
 Music Therapy/other
organisations with a
turnover less than £100,000		 £100+VAT £300+VAT

We believe that these charges are competitive and reasonable within the current market landscape, and they will allow us to maintain the quality of our services, invest in improvements, and expand our reach to benefit both advertisers and members.

We want to express our gratitude for your continued support and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this change or the new pricing structure, please contact аÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û2023 Office. We are happy to discuss.
