Juno Champion Award
We hold a Juno Champion Award, which recognises departments that demonstrate they have taken action to address the under-representation of women in university physics.
Recruitment & Selection
We ask all our staff to complete the Effective Recruitment and Selection course before they begin the hiring process to reduce the potential effects of unconscious bias.
Mental Health and Wellbeing
The health and happiness of our staff is of paramount importance to us. The University has a scope of resources available to help support your mental health and wellbeing should you need them.
Work Life Balance
Achieving a healthy work-life balance is one our key commitments. The University has developed a set of policies to aid flexibility, regardless of gender, age, pay grade, personal circumstances, or the number of hours you work.
