I support the Head of Academic HR in administering the operational processes relating to academic appointments, which are those appointments in grades 10a and A20, Associate and Statutory Professors.

In particular I manage the review and approval of all advertising and further particulars for Associate Professor recruitments together with the issuing of all Associate Professor contractual paperwork and new starter processes. I manage the IPO process for Associate Professors including the reviewing of interim and formal review bundles and liaison with the Head of Division for approvals and reappointment contracts.

I also manage the monthly payroll action processes for both divisional office staff and Associate and Statutory Professors, including approvals. I approve sabbatical leave applications and monitor sickness absence for academics.
