Our Values

People who are upbeat and positive are more likely to be productive, more relaxed, more accepting of others, and more likely to share their sense of humour. We aim to provide a stimulating and practical environment where you enjoy your time at work and can excel.

Your Pay & Protection

We want to recognise and reward your achievement in meeting your objectives, both the outcomes and the way those outcomes are achieved. And while you’re here we want to support you to plan for your future.

Your Wellbeing & Leave

We encourage our staff to take care of themselves. We offer flexible working and leave policies to support your work/life balance, access to help or support when you need it, and some opportunities to relax.

Annual Wellbeing Week events provide opportunities for staff to refocus, reflect and look after their own wellbeing.

Your Benefits

We know many staff love discounts and offers and ways to make their finances stretch a bit so with the help of NUS and the University of Nottingham, we have a great range of staff benefits.

Your Performance

We recognise that having a high-performing staff team is really important to our success as a Union. How we perform individually and collectively makes a significant difference to the people we work with and to the lives of our students. We want to support everyone to perform well, achieve their objectives each year and continue to grow and develop.

Your Learning & Development

We love to see people grow and develop their potential. Our passion for learning is growing from each other and from organisations beyond the Union with an ambition to be the best. We also look to be more honest, give feedback and open more doors to inspire us to be the best we can be.

Recognition @UoNSU

The Union recognises that saying thank you is a powerful way of recognising someone’s contribution and motivating you to keep performing. Having a high-performing staff team is key to our success as a Union and we want to show genuine appreciation for good work and recognise the improvements you make.

Our People Policies

We have 33 People Policies that cover everything from recruitment to retirement. We encourage you to review them from time to time so you know exactly what is expected and what is available to support you in your role.
