Temporary and casual workers, including postgraduates who teach and part-time teachers

Temporary workers

In certain circumstances your department can engage workers directly.

Specific arrangements are in place for:

University Temp Pool

We run a Temp Pool supplying departments with administrative workers.

All Temps have office skills and experience, and many have experience of the University and its systems

Contract for services

There may be circumstances where an individual is carrying out a one-off piece of work which may allow them to be considered as self-employed and consequently may be better engaged on a contract for services

For more on using the correct form of engagement see our flowchart on selecting engagement type [pdf].

Using agency workers

Read our guidance on the Agency Workers Directive before using workers from agencies.
