Information for international staff
Staff joining us from outside the UK may find the Information for international staff useful.
Mid probation and end of probation review
Most research staff have a probation period of six months. Probation should follow the Policy and Procedure for Managing Staff through the University’s Probation Processes. You should meet with your research manager for the mid-probation review after three months and the end of probation review six months after your starting date. Your manager should initiate these meetings, but if they don’t, do ask them for it. Both meetings can be very useful in ensuring your work is on track and that you receive the support you need.
