Starting work at the University
Welcome. This page covers what to expect in your first few weeks.
Before you start
Human Resources will ask you for proof of your right to work in the UK, your bank details for Payroll and a photograph for your University card. Your IT account details will be sent to your personal email address a week before your first day.
Your first day
Collect your University card from the Bellhouse Lane lodge, or from the Riverside site reception if you will work there. Your line manager will show you your workplace, fire exits and first aid arrangements, and agree an induction plan with you.
Induction
- The University welcome session, held each month in the Old Schools, with a tour of the city-centre buildings.
- Online modules on information security, data protection, equality and diversity, and health and safety, to be completed within your first month.
- For academic staff, the programme in teaching and learning in higher education, which new lecturers take in their first two years.
- For staff who will sit on a committee, a meeting with its Secretary, who will explain how to read the committee’s papers.
Probation
Professional staff serve a probation period of six months, and academic staff of three years, with regular reviews.
