Hiring Departments

Short-term contracts (less than 6 months) can be requested by submitting  a Short term and named researcher's contract request to HR Staff Hub.

So that your request can be processed quickly, please include:

• Completed contract request form with finance/research services approval 
• Passport/Right to work documents
• A minimum of 2 references, normally to include the applicant's present/most recent employer and covering at least 3 years immediately preceding joining Imperial
• Academic certificates (if applicable to role) 
• CV/Application form

Once this has been processed, the individual and their line manager will be sent a contract. You will need to collect their bank details and send them directly to payroll

You can use zero-hours contracts for irregular work patterns that last over 26 weeks. It is important to ensure workers know when they are likely to be needed e.g., during known busy periods.  Zero hours workers are paid monthly via submission of IC Pay 8C forms to Payroll.
