A - 2.1 Vacancy reasons

A vacancy may arise for the following reasons:

  • newly created positions
  • staff attrition (eg resignation/retirement)
  • leaves of absences/short term needs
  • staff restructuring
  • research projects

A request to fill a vacancy requires the identification or confirmation of a set of position descriptions and the relevant selection criteria (refer 2.5) for general staff or position guidelines for academic staff.

General Staff: Preparation of an accurate statement of duties and responsibilities for the position to be filled, and relevant selection criteria, are the responsibility of the school and must be authorised by the Head. Human Resources will classify the position according to the University of Western Australia General Staff Agreement. If the vacancy is to be formally advertised schools should allow a minimum of two weeks for the classification process prior to submitting a request for advertisement.

Academic Staff: Position guidelines for teaching and research academic staff and research staff are contained in the University of Western Australia Academic Staff Agreement.
