What responsibilities will heads of department have for staff management?
Heads of school will have ultimate line management responsibility for all academic staff in their school. In many cases, either because of the size of a single discipline or because there are multiple cognate disciplines within a school, the head of school may delegate some of the day-to-day management of academic staff to other senior staff within their school structure. Details of such positions will need to be developed during the course of the implementation of any new structures. However the head of school would remain accountable for the overall management of academic staff. The Senate paper S/218/3 then said: “For multidiscipline Schools, the concept of ‘department’ will be recognised, with an appointed head of department. Head of department will be a remunerated post and the postholder will be a member of the school senior management team. A head of department, on a delegated basis, will carry out staff management duties on behalf of the head of school.
