As from 1st of July 2018, the University has had a Strategic Review of Vacant and Replacement posts in place. (Read more here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The Athena SWAN team is pleased to announce, that with immediate effect, Maternity Leave cover will be considered as out of scope for the recruitment Strategic Review where<\/u> the cover requested is no longer than the maternity leave period and it can be funded by the budget for the post. In these circumstances, recruitment to backfill can commence following the normal recruitment process and will not have to be submitted to the Review Groups first for consideration.\u00a0If an appointment to cover maternity creates another vacancy (or other vacancies) then the back-fill posts will be subject to review by the panel.<\/p>\n

The HR recruitment (Information for managers) web pages have been updated to reflect the above decision (FAQ 7 and 31):\u00a0https:\/\/www.kent.ac.uk\/careeropportunities\/faq.html<\/a><\/p>\n
