Pay
We encourage hiring managers to pay temporary workers according to the University’s spinal point list and to pay the National Living Wage as a minimum to support the student economy. Holiday pay is calculated at 12.07% of the hourly rate. Please note that day rates and fixed fees are not permitted.
If there is a permanent equivalent of a role within the department, the pay rate should be similar for the temporary or casual role where experience levels and differences in responsibility are comparable. If you are not certain what a suitable pay rate is for a position, contact HR at hr@lancaster.ac.uk
What information do I need?
Roles through ERS can be either pre-appointed or advertised on our website. Pre-appointed roles require you to have a suitable candidate already confirmed for the job. Please refer to the University’s named appointment policy below.
Vacancies to advertise are advertised on the ERS website and job alerts sent out as appropriate. We offer a variety of recruitment options for your role, which can be seen on the ‘services’ page.
