Project Placements
A project placement is an informal, part-time arrangement within Queen Mary where a member of staff (the guest) spends a small part of their working time within another team or department (the host), participating in a project of defined scope and timeline. Do you have a piece of work that could be supported in this way?
A placement allows the guest to develop skills or gain experience that they can’t acquire in their day-to-day role. In return, the host team gets some additional capacity and benefits from the knowledge and perspective of a colleague from elsewhere in the University.
Please support this programme by:
- Creating placements based on the needs of your team
- Being supportive of colleagues who wish to take up placements elsewhere! While finding time for development opportunities can often be challenging, it should be considered an investment. Plan ahead and discuss how the ‘guest’ will be able to upskill their team and apply their learning. Currently we have one placement; please share the current placement within your team.
You can:
- Read more details in the Process & Guidance paper
- View existing advertisements for project placements
- Submit your own advert to host a placement
Over time, these placements should support the sharing of learning and good practice, the breaking down of barriers and silos across Professional Services, and the career development of individual colleagues.
