Redeployment
Before considering a formal recruitment exercise (internal or external), departments should consider whether a vacancy may represent a redeployment opportunity for an existing member of departmental staff whose post may be at risk of redundancy, in which case it may be appropriate to appoint without advertising.
If the vacancy does progress to a recruitment exercise departments should ensure that they are familiar with the agreed procedures for considering priority candidates in order that existing members of university staff who are at risk of redundancy, or who needs redeployment for other reasons, are given priority access to potential redeployment opportunities.
