Staff Vacancy Request (SVRs)

Staff Vacancy Request (SVRs)

The Staff Vacancy Request is used to request a role within your department or institute. They are used throughout the University to:

  • Request to recruit for a new role in the University
  • Request to replace a member of staff who has resigned
  • Request to extend the contract of a Fixed-Term employee

The Staff Vacancy Request is not used for the appointment of Hourly Paid Lecturers - this is a separate process and more can be found here.

Completing the form

To complete the form you will need to provide

Authorisation will need to be provided on the form by the Head of Department/Service and ASU Manager.

The process once the form has left Department/Institute

The form will need to be sent next to your Principal Accountant. Once funding for the post has been confirmed the form is sent to the Vice Chancellor Office.

Once the SVR receives final authorisation from the VC Office, it is sent to HR who will either begin the advertising process for the role, or create an extension in the case of contract extensions.
