This post is to cover the absence of the substantive postholder, who is taking a period of maternity leave. The post is available until 31st March 2024 or the actual return of the substantive postholder, or the resignation of the substantive postholder and employment of a new postholder, whichever is the earliest.</div><br> <div>&#160;</div><br> <div>Your responsibilities will cover the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment, administration of new starters, management of end of contracts, assistance with Certificate of Sponsorship and visa applications, management of mid-period and end of period reviews for academic staff and probations for staff members.
