Step 1

Please submit the required information to the relevant webform below. 

Step 2

On completion of Step 1, a new contract request form will be emailed to the LSE Hourly Paid Team by a member of the Department’s professional services staff. You will not be included in this email.

Step 3

You will then receive an email from LSE’s HR Division within 5 working days.If you are not currently employed at LSE, you must complete a Right to Work Check before a contract can be issued. Please contact humanresources@lse.ac.uk to request this check as soon as possible. 

If you do currently work at LSE, your contract will be emailed to you straightaway. Once you have been issued a contract, you should sign and return this contract, after which you can begin work.

If you begin working before you have completed a Right to Work Check and/or returned your signed contract you cannot be paid. Please explain this to your line manager if they ask you to start working before your contract has been returned.

Guidance on the right to work check process can be found here.
