Is your School or Department interested in taking part this academic year?A Job Shadow scheme has run successfully for staff at Loughborough since 2006. Last year saw 180 members of staff involved, including the VC. Primarily, the take up has been from those working in support services. 98% said they would take part again. We’re now encouraging cross School and Service job shadows. The Job Shadow scheme is open to all members of staff from any staff group.

What do I need to do now?If you are interested in putting forward your School or Department to take part in the 2013 programme, please let me know and if you could provide a nominated contact for your School/Department, name, phone and email please.

If you want to know more or have a chat with someone about the scheme, then please do not hesitate to contact me.

What’s the Job Shadow Scheme all about?The Scheme gives you the opportunity to become familiar with someone else’s role or responsibilities within Loughborough University. Job shadowing can help you develop your understanding of a process or procedure to help you in your role going forward, or it could help you understand more about a totally different role to one you currently have. It can also provide a fantastic opportunity to build relationships with colleagues from other areas of the University.

The job shadow can be for any length of time, an hour or a full day – whatever you mutually agree will work best.

Due to the size of the scheme, it may not be possible to guarantee the job shadow you have requested, if this happens, we will get in touch with you.
