You will enjoy a generous annual leave allowance of 35 days per year (pro-rata for part-time staff). This is in addition to the statutory bank holidays and University closure days (generally over the Christmas period).

You will automatically become an active member of an occupational pension scheme from the start date of your employment.

If you are appointed to a grade that is paid on the nationally negotiated salary scale, then every year you should expect your salary to go up by one spine point until you reach the top spine point for your grade.

We operate a notional 35-hour working week with the actual times of attendance to be arranged with your Line Manager.

We recognise that for senior colleagues and those in academic roles it is not appropriate in a professional contract to be specific as to the exact hours of availability for duties; the proportion of time an individual should devote to activities is a matter for professional judgement.

Our professional service colleagues are able to take advantage of our commitment to Smart Working where teams have adopted working patterns and principles to support greater flexibility in location supported by technology.

A number of supportive policies aid work-life balance and create a family-friendly workplace at the University of Westminster. This includes policies on special leave.

We are particularly supportive of parents with young children and those with caring responsibilities. Flexibility may apply to your hours of work, the times that you work and where you work.

The University of Westminster is fully committed to helping working parents balance work and family life wherever this is operationally and financially possible. The University operates a maternity, paternity and adoption leave package which is more favourable than statutory requirements.

Other policies in operation include shared parental leave, parental leave and time off for dependants leave.
