*Updated* Job Shadowing Scheme Guidelines and Form

Dear Library Staff,

I am happy to inform you that the Library Services Job Shadowing Scheme has been updated, with easy to follow guidelines and only ONE form to complete.

The purpose of this scheme is to make it as flexible and accessible as possible for anyone within the department to take part in a form of job shadowing. The guidelines are there to support you and the form is there to help guide the conversations needed to organise this activity.

What is Job Shadowing?

Job shadowing is a form of learning and development, where an individual from one area or team has the opportunity to work alongside and gain experience of the role of another individual. Job shadowing is accessible to all employees, of any shift pattern, any grade and any experience.

The flexibility of this scheme means that it can be successfully used within a hybrid working environment and job shadowing (observing, undertaking tasks, participating in meetings) can occur virtually as well as face to face.

Further information including links to the form and guidelines, details of how to participate, plus a handy flow chart, can be found on the dedicated Libnet page: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/libnet/hr/learning-and-development/job-shadowing-library-services-staff

If you have any questions or wish to discuss the scheme further, please feel free to email aanchal.bhatt@ucl.ac.uk

Kind Regards,

Aanchal Bhatt
