Partnerships

Initially established as a partnership between Imperial College and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust in 2007, and now also including Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust as partners, the Imperial College Academic Health Science Centre (AHSC) aims to improve the health and well-being of patients and populations by ensuring that research discoveries are translated into medical advances, new therapies and techniques as rapidly as possible.

The AHSC is focused on research and education as key drivers to improving human health. Its strategy is to prevent disease wherever possible. Where disease cannot be prevented, the AHSC aims to detect and diagnosis disease earlier, and for all diagnosed conditions, it aims to develop better, more targeted treatments.

While the partners are separate bodies, the AHSC adds value through activities that seek to capitalise on both the academic strengths of Imperial and the critical mass and clinical capabilities of the NHS partners. The diverse academic strengths of Imperial across all of its Faculties enable the AHSC to foster collaborative approaches that are increasingly centred on multidisciplinary working.

The Faculty develops and maintains several other key partnerships to advance its work. Examples include: Imperial College Health Partners, which brings together NHS providers of healthcare services, clinical commissioning groups and leading universities across North West London; it is also the designated Academic Health Science Network for North West London. Other academic partnerships include: the Cancer Research Centre of Excellence (with the Institute of Cancer Research); the Francis Crick Institute (with the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK, Wellcome, Kings College and UCL) – Imperial was a founding partner of this inter-disciplinary medical research institute which focuses upon understanding how disease develops; the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences (with the Medical Research Council), which forms a large component of the Faculty’s Institute of Clinical Sciences, and the Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine based in Singapore.

With respect to corporate partnerships, the Faculty has strong links with the College’s dedicated team that works with academic staff to explore opportunities for research and translation for the mutual benefit of the College and industry.

Department of Surgery and Cancer The Department of Surgery and Cancer led by Professor George Hanna is one of the largest teaching and research Departments in the UK with a reputation for excellence and vibrant and international working community. It hosts over 400 staff and students. The Department is made up of three Divisions Surgery; Cancer and APMIC that in turn are divided into a number of sections and centres spread across a number of campuses including Hammersmith, St. Mary’s, Chelsea and Westminster and Charing Cross Hospitals and the College’s South Kensington campus. The Department also has a number of staff based overseas.

The Department is highly multi-disciplinary and includes multiple internationally renowned academic and clinical foci including surgical technology development, discovery biochemistry, cancer biology and medicine, critical care and pain management and patient safety and engagement. Its overarching mission is to innovate, develop and apply new translational technologies, approaches and models to enhance medical and surgical diagnostics, clinical decision-making and patient stratification to better inform health policy decisions and government policy

The Department of Surgery and Cancer benefits from infrastructure support through the Cancer Research UK Imperial Centre, with its twin themes of Improving the Precision of Cancer Treatments and Reducing the Burden of Cancer. One of the main foci of the CRUK Imperial Centre is Convergence Science, the amalgamation of clinical, life, physical and engineering sciences to develop new methods and creative solutions to problems in cancer. This focus on convergence reflects the broad skills across the College in cancer biology, clinical sciences, engineering, physics and chemistry.

11. SALARY AND CONDITIONS OF SERVICE

A full set of terms and conditions will be given to the successful candidate, together with the College’s most important policies which affect staff. The principal terms and conditions are as follow:

Senior Lecturers

The salary range for a Lecturer is £82,096- £110,663 per annum (effective from 1 August 2020 until further notice, for London and Silwood Park).

Incremental progression and any performance payments will be in accordance with procedures governing Senior Lecturer level in the Academic Job Family. Annual increment date is 1 October up to the maximum of the standard salary scale. For those starting between 2 April – 30 September, subject to satisfactory performance, the fist increment will be on the first of the month after six months in post.

Annual cost of living increases will be determined by Imperial College through its local collective bargaining machinery.

Salaries are payable on the 24th day of each month (the exception being December) by transfer to a bank or building society account. Deductions in respect of income tax and National Insurance contributions will be made from salaries at the statutory rates.

Academic staff normally take annual leave during College vacations and by arrangement with the Head of Department in the light of academic and departmental requirements. Annual leave entitlement is 39 days for full time staff (pro rata entitlement for part time staff). This is inclusive of 8 days for Public holidays and a total of six days each year when the College is closed over Easter and Christmas.

In some years, because of the day of the week on which Christmas day falls, a decision may be made to increase the College closure to seven days. In these circumstances the annual leave entitlement will be increased to 40 days for full-time staff (again pro-rata for part-time staff).

At the beginning of the leave year staff will be required to allocate the appropriate number of days of their mandatory leave entitlement to cover the College Closure days and Public holidays that fall within that leave year. For part-time staff the allocation should cover their normal working days that fall upon a College closure day, bank or public holiday during that leave year.

The College Closure days and Public Holidays are listed on the HR website.

For staff who will hold an honorary consultant contract, appointment will be made at an appropriate point on the new Consultant Clinical Academic pay scale according to seniority plus the London Allowance. Calculation of basic salary and pay thresholds are based on the level of seniority of the applicant's service.

Annual cost of living increases will be determined in line with the recommendations of the Universities and Colleges Employers’ Association’s Clinical Academic Staff Salaries Committee (CASSC).

Staff are also entitled to 10 days public holidays per annum (including two statutory days). College closure days are allocated in addition to public holidays at Christmas and Easter. There is no obligation for staff to take days during college closure dates but if you do, this must be taken as part of your annual leave entitlement.

The occupational pension scheme is the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS). Staff members who are already members of the Federated Superannuation System for Universities (FSSU) or the Superannuation Scheme (NHSPS) may, if they are still eligible, retain their membership in these schemes.

Unless stated otherwise in the offer of employment, or agreed by the head of department, the appointment may be terminated by either side by giving a minimum of three months’ notice in writing.

All staff have a probationary period of six months, with the exception of Non-Clinical Lecturers and Senior Lecturers (Clinical and Non-Clinical) who normally serve three years. Clinical Lecturers normally serve one year.

Staff on a fixed term contract receive notice of the ending of their employment within that contract. No further contractual notice will be given unless the contract is to terminate prior to the end date specified in the offer of employment. In these circumstances the notice from the College would be as above.
