Annual Leave
Your annual leave entitlement is spread across all your placements. For example: if your entitlement is 27 days, you should take 9 days in each four month placement or 13.5 days in each 6 month placement.
Annual leave should be spread across days of the week (not all on a Friday!) and across educational and clinical hours.
If you are timetabled to work a condensed week (i.e. one or more of your days exceeds 8 hours), your leave should be calculated in hours not days.
Leave requests need to be made to the rota coordinator for the placement. You should endeavour to give at least 6 weeks notice.
Annual leave on teaching days (Thursdays or Wednesday virtual days) count as one day or 8 hours of leave.
Accured annual leave following statutory leave (i.e. maternity leave) does not count for training.
