Support for people managers from our HR Advisers and Officers

The HR Operations team support staff and managers with issues such as:

• departmental restructuring
• people management issues such as disciplinary, managing ill health, capability and grievance redundancy situations
• overseas working and hybrid working queries
• matters relating to employment law

Each faculty and professional support directorate is supported by a team of HR Advisers/HR Officers.

Our casework service agreement outlines how we support managers dealing with managers managing individuals under HR procedures.
