Acting Up and Secondments

When there is the need for a short term contract to undertake project work or to cover a colleague’s leave, it may be appropriate to offer this as an Acting Up opportunity within your own School/Unit or as a secondment opportunity (within your own School/Unit or to the wider University).

For Acting Up contracts, please send the following information to your HR Business Partner:

  1. Name of person to be offered the acting up
  2. Reason for acting up (in the case of sickness cover, who is off work)
  3. Details of work to be undertaken while acting up
  4. Start and end dates of acting up

For Secondments, please consult the secondment policy for full details of when and how to use.
