Recruitment and Selection with Hireserve

This session is part of the LJMU LEAD Programme – Leadership Enhancement and Development but is for all staff who are to take part in any recruitment and selection of staff at LJMU.

1. How to use the hiring manager self-service portal (Hireserve) from advertising through to offer

2. Producing a job description and person specification

3. Advertising the position

4. Carrying out a fair selection process at both shortlist and interview, gathering accurate information, interpreting information, and making decisions

Personal Tutoring: Boundary-setting and signposting

Personal Tutoring has a significant role to play in guiding students’ academic achievement and engagement with opportunities for further development and support, where needed. In undertaking that role, it is likely that Personal Tutors will become aware of difficulties students are encountering which are impacting on their studies – these may be academic-related or related to typical life issues. An effective and trusting relationship will be based on a shared understanding of the role and its boundaries.

This session will cover how to establish appropriate boundaries and manage students’ expectations. It will also cover how and when to signpost students to other services within LJMU for more specialist guidance.

Led by staff from Organisational Development and Student Advice and Wellbeing this session will be delivered online.
