Soul

Happiness and contentment come in part from achieving a good work / life harmony. Harmony comes from knowing that you are supported and that you have the flexibility to be present and be the best that you can be. In this section you will find links that can help you in those aims.

Our Chaplaincy team is here to support students and staff with their wellbeing, faith and spirituality. Chaplains offer a listening service and can help you to pause, find comfort, be creative, or explore faith and spirituality. Whether you consider yourself to be a person of faith or not, everyone is welcome. Chaplains are available to speak to in person, online or phone. The Chaplaincy facility contains a Christian chapel, Islamic prayer room with ablutions, a quiet room and other multi use spaces for meetings, events or quiet study and reflection.

Our 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.

HR purpose and vision

We’re a firm believer that employees should be recognised for their hard work and contribution to the University’s growth and success. Our reward schemes help us deliver on this belief.

Reward, recognition and pay

The University is committed to the government’s national ‘Two Ticks Positive about Disabled People’ scheme. This means the University is committed to taking actions in two themes under level 2 of the scheme, which are:

  • Getting the right staff with disabilities
  • Keeping and developing our staff with disabilities

Also we are pleased to announce the introduction of a Disability Passport, developed through collaboration between the Staff Inclusivity Group, the EDI Services, Occupational Health and HR.

Loughborough University plays a leading role in the economic, social and cultural development of the region and aims to build on relationships with the local community. The University has introduced an employer supported volunteering policy as part of its commitment to community engagement and corporate social responsibility. It is intended to support, encourage and develop employees by facilitating their involvement in volunteering opportunities within the community and for charitable organisations. Voluntary activities should be of mutual benefit to the employee, the University and the community. This policy applies to all substantive members of Loughborough University staff, in all projects approved by the University.
