Welcome to Human Resources
Here to help...
Whether you’re a new joiner or a head of department, we’re here to help you
make the most of your career at Essex.
We provide HR services covering:
- recruitment, selection and employment of all staff in the University
- expert HR advice, information and professional support to staff at all levels.
- employees of University of Essex Campus Services and Wivenhoe House Hotel
We're also responsible for staff benefits, including a scheme called Essex Offers which is an exciting collection of optional extra benefits for staff. The variety of benefits range from salary sacrifice schemes, such as childcare vouchers and mobile phones, to dental care plans, medical insurance, meals out, subsidised travel and more.
This year, we are developing our HR software so you can do more
online – such as updating your details and planning your training and
development. There will also be new tools for managers. Watch this space
for more details.
Our work also includes:
- Equality and Diversity
- Health and Safety Advisory Service
- Learning and Development
- Occupational Health
- Payroll and Pensions
The University is a Two Ticks employer, meaning that we are committed to the employment, retention, training and career development of disabled employees and we are also a Mindful Employer (opens PDF).
