About us

The department of Human Resources (HR) is responsible for the recruitment, retention and development of staff in line with the goals and objectives of the College under direction of Governors, through the Staffing Committee. HR operates within the frameworks set out by: National Agreements with the Trade Unions, The Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA), Employment Law, the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS) guide lines and best practice in personnel and human resource management.

We endeavour to provide a highly professional standard of competency, conduct and confidentiality and to provide the appropriate level of support to all staff through our service provision, using agreed College policies and procedures.

The department is split into three sections, operational, learning & organisational development and policy, all under the supervision of the Director of HR. The services provided by these sections include: recruitment & selection; contracts of employment; induction; employment policy & procedures; committees & administration; advice & counselling; industrial relations; appraisal; staff development; grading, pay and promotion; disciplinary & grievance procedure; management information; and the college nursery.
