In 2018 we finalised our anti-casualisation agreement with the university which has a significant impact on many hourly paid lecturers. Anyone 110 teaching hours per academic year should be offered a permanent fractional contract (see below for details of which fraction will apply according to hours worked). This agreement was won of the back of two years of campaigning, and a national campaign by UCU, to seek to end the casual use of contracts at our university. It signifies a major step forward for many staff on insecure casual contracts. Find more information here on our PTL framework.
