Annual Report 2022-2023

3.2 Employment and Vacancies

The tables in this section summarise the position about employment and vacancies. The following tables summarise the number of posts on the establishment, the number of employees, the vacancy rate, and whether there are any staff that are additional to the establishment. This information is presented in terms of three key variables: • Programme; • Salary band; and • Critical occupations (see definition in notes below). Departments have identified critical occupations that need to be monitored. In terms of current regulations, it is possible to create a post that can be occupied by more than one employee. Therefore, the vacancy rate reflects the percentage of posts that are not filled.
