Founding Employer Launch Programme Terms

1. About these Terms

These Terms supplement the Environment.jobs Terms and Conditions and apply to organisations accepted into the Founding Employer Launch Programme. Operator and contact details are set out in the general Terms.

2. Applications and acceptance

Availability is limited. Applications may open or close at any time. Applying does not guarantee acceptance.

3. Individual six-month period

Each approved Employer receives an individual six-calendar-month programme period.

Closing applications to new entrants does not terminate an active programme.

The expiry date is fixed and is not automatically extended by suspension or by periods of inactivity.

4. Standard Listings

During the active programme, approved Founding Employers may post unlimited genuine Standard Listings at no Standard Listing fee, subject to moderation and to reasonable measures to prevent abuse.

5. One included Featured Placement

The programme includes one Featured Placement at any one time.

Submitting an eligible included Featured advert reserves the slot, and a live included Featured advert uses it.

The slot is released when that advert is rejected, withdrawn, returned to draft where applicable, deleted, closed or expired.

Ordinary drafts do not reserve the slot.

6. Additional Featured Placement — £25

Where the included slot is already reserved or in use, an active Founding Employer may purchase an additional Featured Placement for £25.

No further 20% discount applies to that price.

An additional Featured Placement is separate from the included slot and never transfers or removes it.

If the included slot later becomes available, a £25 advert remains a paid Featured advert with no retrospective refund or reclassification.

7. Drafts and pricing

Drafts do not reserve the included slot and draft prices are not permanently locked.

Entitlement and pricing are server-authoritative and are recalculated at submission and checkout.

8. Moderation

Priority moderation does not mean automatic approval or immediate publication.

9. Premium Employers Directory profile

Programme benefits may include applicable Premium / Founding Employer Profile benefits, but profile publication still follows the normal profile completion and moderation process.

10. Founding Employer badge and recognition

Approved Founding Employers receive permanent recognition and a Founding Employer badge, subject to continuing account legitimacy and the absence of fraud.

11. Weekly Environmental Jobs Email

Every eligible new live vacancy published during an edition window is included in the next Weekly Environmental Jobs Email, provided it remains live and eligible when that edition is generated.

Founding Employer vacancies receive priority placement and prominence within that email.

Environment.jobs does not guarantee candidate traffic, applications or recruitment outcomes.

Environment.jobs may skip an edition where there is no new eligible content.

12. Early access and beta features

Eligibility for early access or beta features may be offered. No particular beta feature is guaranteed.

13. After six months

• Free Standard Listings end.
• The included Featured entitlement ends.
• The £25 additional Featured price ends.
• There is no automatic subscription or charge.
• The permanent 20% discount remains on eligible future Environment.jobs advertising products.

Current examples: Standard £149 → £119.20; Featured £199 → £159.20.

Future prices may change; the 20% applies to the then-current eligible prices.

14. Existing adverts after programme expiry

Valid adverts may finish their normal listing period even where that period extends beyond programme expiry.

15. No automatic renewal

There is no obligation to continue purchasing advertising after the programme ends.

16. Ownership

Benefits belong to the approved canonical Employer account and organisation, not merely to a company name.

Benefits may not be sold, resold or transferred to unrelated businesses without written agreement.

17. Recruitment agencies

Where a recruitment agency is an approved Founding Employer, the benefits remain with the agency account. A named hiring client does not receive them.

18. Misuse and suspension

Benefits may be suspended for fraud, fake vacancies, unlawful content, manipulation of entitlements or improper resale. Suspension does not extend programme expiry.

19. Changes

Reasonable administrative or non-core changes may be made. The core active six-month entitlement to included Standard Listings and one active included Featured Placement will not retrospectively be converted into paid entitlements.

20. General Terms

The main Environment.jobs Terms and Conditions also apply.
