Hybrid Working Practices

A new working practices policy has been prepared to formalise the ways that we have been working since Easter 2022.

Moving forward subject to approval and role dependent, all professional services and senior management staff will have the flexibility to work either on the University’s campuses, or remotely, provided it does not impact the student experience and service delivery.

The flexibility to work remotely will be for one day per week. In some cases, this might be extended to two days per week depending on role and business need.

We also recognise there will be staff whose roles are mainly student facing and/or can only be carried out on campus who will not be able to work remotely.

Line managers in consultation with their VCEG lead are responsible for determining the feasibility of working remotely for any particular role or team.

It is expected departments will keep their arrangements under review throughout the next few months and make adjustments to ensure that service delivery expectations are being met.
