Daily Briefing

For news, information, networking.  This Briefing notifies subscribers of forthcoming events; latest reports and publications; upcoming conferences and calls for papers; policy announcements from the Government or the Office for Students; consultations; ongoing research and research assistance; programmes, relevant podcasts, and current vacancies – it’s a mixed bag of things for immediate attention that cannot wait for the monthly eBulletin.  We send out 1,050,000 emails every 12 months.

Vacancies

Our Vacancies listings are broad and wide: posts range from pro Vice-Chancellor to administrative staff; universities and colleges to third sector organisations; Heads of Service to Officer posts; and cover both public employers and private companies.  The listing is updated every day.  New vacancies are sent in by Action on Access partners, by our subscribers and we also source vacancies from external sources.  Subscribers have unrestricted access to all job vacancy information on our website.  We know from the feedback we receive that using our listing results in increased numbers of applicants.

Fortnightly Events

Our Events listings cover access, outreach, schools liaison, participation, and admissions; marketing and recruitment; student retention and success in HE and events which focus on those with particular identities or characteristics.  Events are updated every day on the website but additionally a fortnightly listing goes out to our subscribers and all events are listed in the monthly eBulletin.  We promote all events (large, small; major and minor), webinars, seminars, podcasts and conferences.  Feedback shows that events listed with us result in higher numbers of attendees.

Monthly eBULLETIN

Each new eBulletin delivers a monthly round-up of information on wide-ranging issues: outreach and access; widening participation; admissions; student support and individually-targeted support; student success and employability; inclusive curricula and programmes; teaching or research; and social mobility and social justice.  Occasional features keep the eBulletin fresh, lively and interesting.  Our eBulletin is acclaimed by our subscribers as a truly invaluable, irreplaceable source of information.  If you’re not subscribed, you really are missing out.
