We have provided the following resources for managers to use when planning and recruiting for formal and informal work-based learning opportunities. Please refer to the “Work-based learning options" process documents for further information about how and when to use the various templates in this section.
Important information
For work-based learning opportunities intended for a manager’s own team and not for wider distribution, and where the opportunity is positioned as an acting-up arrangement or additional responsibility for a finite period, the manager may advertise the opportunity via an internal email circulated to all team members. The manager does not need to complete a university-wide advertisement in these circumstances. The job advertisement template should be used for all other formal work-based learning opportunities.
The application form can be used for both informal and formal work-based learning recruitment opportunities. Managers must carefully consider the criteria they set for candidates and ensure their process is fair and equitable.
