Voluntary Severance 2013

The University is offering staff the opportunity to apply for severance under a Voluntary Severance Scheme.  The Scheme aims to create a sustainable staffing profile appropriate to the University’s plans and needs for the future.  

The Scheme is designed to provide staff with an opportunity to take a personal decision regarding their future employment.  It enables staff who may wish to leave their employment to do so with an appropriate compensatory payment.  

The scheme will run across the University and all applications will be considered against the business and financial interests of the University.  

The Scheme will run for a limited time, opening today (Feb 18) with a closing date for applications of 30 April 2013.  The University has set aside a fund for this purpose and the scheme will close early if oversubscribed.   

Those interested in exploring the option of voluntary severance are invited to review full details:
