  • The University regards its staff as its greatest asset and is committed to ensuring that all staff members reach their full potential in their roles. The probationary period plays an important part in this process and confirmation that probation has been passed is an important milestone for staff members.
     
  • Probation is a formal arrangement at the start of an appointment during which the probationer has the opportunity to understand the requirements of their role and to demonstrate their suitability within a reasonable timescale. Their performance will be assessed and monitored throughout the probationary period and they should be provided with guidance and support to enable them to become an effective member of the University.
     
  • The probationer is expected to engage fully in this process, ensuring that they complete induction in a timely manner and undertake training where required.
