Human Resources

Human Resources is responsible for providing a comprehensive, coordinated personnel service to the University community, consistent with employment legislation and best practice.

The team comprises professional and support staff, each having responsibility for a College or Section.

Matters covered are wide ranging and include:

• conditions of employment
• discipline/grievance matters
• employment law
• industrial relations
• management/employee information and general advice
• promotion/grading
• staff development and training
• staffing policies and procedures

A significant part of our work involves recruitment and selection, and all associated administration. We process upwards of 40 advertised posts at any one time. All vacancies notified to Human Resources are automatically advertised internally on notice boards and on our jobs website.

The Staffing and Development Committee has responsibility for maintaining a strategic overview of  employment-related matters for all staff , and advises Senate and Court (and other Committees as may be appropriate) on strategic issues affecting members of staff within the University. The sub-committee which reports to the Staffing and Development Committee is the Partnership and Negotiating Consultative Committee (PNCC).

If you require any further information on the role of HR , please do not hesitate to contact your College/Section team.
