Each year, the Universities and Colleges Employers Association (UCEA) negotiate with trade unions on a national pay award for HE staff. As some trade unions are still consulting their members on UCEA’s pay offer, we are unable to implement an uplift to pay from 1 August. We will update you again once this process has finished.

We’re recruiting three Chairs of Social Engagement groups to help shape strategy, champion inclusion and drive positive change at ¹û¶³´«Ã½. Find out more and apply by Wednesday 2 September.

Annual leave balances for 2026/27 are now available in SuccessFactors, meaning you can book for the next holiday year, beginning 1 October. Any leave you are carrying over will be added to SuccessFactors after 1 October. Find out more about annual leave here.

Find out what was discussed at the July Council meeting.

To help you feel prepared for changes in SuccessFactors from Monday 7 September, watch a recorded briefing, join a session on specific topics during August, or view the FAQs.
