4. Development Managers

Your Development Manager will oversee your development and performance and support you to manage your career.  Development Managers are also responsible for working with you and your activity managers to complete your end of year appraisal. You should have regular 1:1 meetings together and you should agree how often these should happen.

Development Managers should:

  • help you to identify work and development opportunities by  supporting you through the flexible management process (including expression of interest forms)
  • meet regularly with activity managers for feedback on your performance and development needs
  • have overall responsibility for setting and monitoring objectives
  • ensuring you have appropriate training and that you are part of appropriate teams/learning groups
  • keep record of evidence of performance throughout the year
  • keep Oracle records up to date and make sure activity managers know about authorised leave, training etc
  • liaise as appropriate with the Corporate Committee on career development for their staff and feed into the HR’s learning and development budget allocation
  • ensure you complete the exit questionnaireif you leave the Department
