Loughborough is a great university, and you – our staff – play a huge part in our ongoing success. Your hard work, dedication and commitment have helped us to achieve the many accolades and honours we have received so far.

However, we are not complacent. We want to build on these achievements, consolidate our position as a top ten university in the UK, and establish ourselves as one of the world’s leading higher education institutions. To do that we need the very best staff, who have the opportunities, environment and culture to achieve the highest standards.

Our People Strategy

Our People Strategy outlines how we intend to make that happen. It encapsulates the initiatives, policies and support we will put in place for every aspect of your life at Loughborough.
