Redeployment scheme

Oxford Brookes University are committed to trying to find suitable roles for staff who have been displaced through organisational change and staff who are on fixed term contracts that are coming to an end (who have been recruited through the University Recruitment and Selection process).

Redeployment is a process that attempts to match these staff wherever possible to suitable roles that are arising in the University before these roles are sent to advert. The University cannot guarantee that this will be successful but will make every reasonable endeavour to redeploy eligible staff.

Once you are on the redeployment list, as job vacancies arise they are assessed to see if they potentially match your skills and experience. If there are any vacancies that could possibly match, then these job details and person specifications will be emailed to you for your consideration.

You will be asked to review the information and decide if you are interested in the post. If you are interested you will be asked to reply within one day by emailing hr-redeployment@brookes.ac.uk. The manager of the post will then be sent your CV and asked to contact you directly to arrange an informal chat about the position. The informal chat is the opportunity for you to talk to the manager and discover a little bit more about what the role entails.

After you have had the informal chat, if you are still interested in the position then a formal interview will be held. The interview will consist of the same process, questions and if necessary tests as an external interview would have. The only difference is that when the panel are assessing your suitability they will consider only the essential criteria of the role and if you could undertake the position with a reasonable period of adjustment and/or training.

Once you have been successfully redeployed you will be removed from the redeployment list. If you are not redeployed then when your contact expires your employment with Oxford Brookes will cease.
