Policy

We have now finalised our agreement with the university that will have a significant impact on many hourly paid lecturers. Anyone offered over 110 teaching hours will be offered a permanent fractional contract (see below for details of which fraction will apply according to hours worked). This agreement comes on 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 who have, up until now, been on insecure casual contracts, annually renewed.
