Coming soon, a new version of the EJ website! It's taken more than a year and involved a complete rewrite, but it's almost here. Check out our facebook page for some previews. We've tried to keep what people liked about the site - simplicity, speed, clarity, and added what was missing - keyword search, RSS, etc. We hope to be going live with it towards the end of September.

We donate a proportion of our profit each year to environmental charities. Everyone who works for EJ gets to choose a charity for their share. This year we were pleased to split £4,000 between the Centre for Alternative Technology, Friends of the Earth, Waste Watch, Buglife, Life Cycle UK and the Marine Conservation Society. If you work for a charity and would like to put it forward for next year just email us a paragraph about the organisation and we'll take a look.

We've moved! We're now based at the Innovation Centre, on the University of Exeter campus. Lots more space and great views of the city and hills. We can even see the sea (just)!

A great start to the year with well over one million pageviews in January. By far the busiest month we've ever had, and it looks like February will be equally busy.

A price rise this month, the first for a couple of years and only the 3rd we've ever had. We've kept prices fixed for those people who link to us from the jobs section of their website though. At £49 per ad for charities and £79 per ad for everyone else these rates are now even better value. If you're interested in linking and getting these discounts, do get in touch.

We've had some really great feedback recently - see our testimonials page. It's really pleasing that people have found the site so useful.

We have a new "most popular ad ever" - MSc Conservation Biology from the University of Cumbria with 9,072 click-throughs to the details page!

We posted our 20,000th ad today. It was a Fundraising Officer ad for the RSPB. Long may it continue.

A record number of pageviews in January - 940,000! We were kind of aiming for a nice round million - but that's still an awful lot of clicks. We also had our most popular ever ad in December (an Environment Agency vacancy) with 8,188 click-throughs to the details page.

We posted our 15,000 ad last week. Hurrah!

We give 10% of our profit to environmental charities. At the end of 2007 we were happy to give money to the Sumatran Orangutan Society, Butterfly Conservation and the Alliance Against Urban 4x4s.

We've now completed our user survey - thanks to all who took part and congratulations to Chris Dean who won the iPod. The results were interesting, lots and lots of you have found jobs through the site, and some people 3 or 4. Most people like the simplicity of site and they wanted to keep it very much as it is. There was a lot of interest in being able to customise the email update to only include specific locations or sectors though. That's something we'll implement this year.

We're interested in your thoughts on environmentjob.co.uk. Take part in our 2007 User Survey and you'll be entered into our draw to win an iPod nano. Just email us your name and phone number. The survey shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. Privacy: your telephone number will only be used for this survey, it will not be stored and will not be passed on.

We're pleased to announce the launch of our new site lowcarbon.com specialising in renewable energy, energy efficiency, climate and carbon jobs.

A price rise this month, only the second in the 5 years we've been running - we're still cheap though!

A couple of new site features this month. We now have a Climate Change sector (about time!) and the ability to search for jobs by job function - administration, IT, HR, communications & PR - that sort of thing.

Every year we donate 10% of our net profit (what's left after expenses and salaries) to environmental charities. This year we were happy to give money to Devon Wildlife Trust, Trees for Life and the Bat Conservation Trust.

Big news! We now advertise courses and events as well as jobs and volunteering.

We've updated the search page and email update to reflect this and hopefully make it just as easy to find what you're looking for. We've also added the ability to search for more than one sector and location at a time.

Take a look at our new profiles page. Want to know how to get a job in conservation? Or what's involved in being a Wildlife Officer? Read first hand accounts from those in the know!

After a year of running environmentjob.co.uk for free we are planning to charge for job ads on the site from end of September. We are aiming to set charges that are fair but which allow us to continue to run the site and even pay some wages. What we have in mind is £30 per ad for advertisers who link to us from ther website and £50 per ad otherwise. Volunteer ads will continue to be free. Any feedback on these charges appreciated.

The last couple of month have seen huge growth in both the number of advertisers and job seekers using the site. July was our busiest month so far with 226,000 pageviews and 28,000 visits. Our Jobs by Email update is now mailed to 4,000 subscribers.

environmentjob.co.uk has now been online 6 months, we hope that you have found the site a useful resource. February was our busiest month so far with 125,000 pageviews and 14,000 visits. Advertising job and volunteer vacancies is still free, feedback is telling us that employers are receiving a useful number of good quality applicants from their ads.
