Our Strategic Plan – Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) builds on the ambition articulated in the University Strategy: “It matters that we act continually to ensure the University is supportive and inclusive of everyone”.
Our EDI mission is to create an inclusive university community, and our vision is that this is a community where, as an individual student or member of staff:
You feel welcomed for who you are, and this is a place where you feel that you can influence the way we do things now and in the future
You feel included and supported to reach your true potential
You are intellectually stretched and challenged
You value the diversity of the wider community and play your part in supporting the mission of inclusivity.
As part of our commitment to your well-being we offer an occupational pension scheme and generous holidays. Staff also have access to our state-of-the-art on-campus sports, arts, and culture facilities, a full programme of events, and access to a number of university employee-discount schemes.
Work-life balance is important to us and this is reflected in our generous maternity policy and childcare facilities; employees are also able to participate in the Childcare Voucher Scheme. Our staff may wish to have working patterns that fit in with their caring responsibilities, so we invite requests to undertake this role on a part-time or a flexible working basis. We also welcome applicants who have had career breaks for reasons including maternity, paternity or adoption leave, disability, or illness.
