- Ensure your students fill out the right application form.
Please note: the Apply page contains 3 different application forms, one per Faculty.
- The Central PAL Team receive the applications centrally, and then process the details into a secure SharePoint spreadsheet that you will all have access to. The link to the SharePoint will be emailed to you.
- The PAL Team will update the spreadsheet with the new applications received regularly. Placement Coordinators within the same Faculty will have access to the same spreadsheet which will contain separate tabs for each of them.
- Once we've set a deadline and that has passed, we ask you guys to use the spreadsheet to do your shortlisting (including any reserves we might want to approach as a contingency in the event of Leaders withdrawing)
To become compliant, students will need to complete a pack of online employment documents as provided by BU's Part Time Hourly Paid (PTHP) Team and provide a form of Right to Work documentation. Right to Work in most cases is a passport, but if students do not have a Passport or are a Tier 4 student, the PTHP Team will be able to advise what other documents they can provide instead.
All information pertaining to the employment of Placement PAL Leaders will be communicated by the PAL Team directly once they are confirmed as successful and processed by the Part Time Hourly Paid Team.
