Potential vacancy arises

Assess the requirement to recruit to new post, or to refill existing post (your HR Business Partner is available to assist you with this):

• is the role/function still required?
• could the role/function be carried out by redistributing duties to other staff?
• could the duties be outsourced – cost implications?
• is the post full-time or part-time?
• do you need someone permanently or for a short period of time? (fixed term)
• does the job description need updating?
