“People are intrinsic to our success as a University. Delivery of the University Strategy rests on the skills and commitment of its people. To achieve our ambitions, we need to be able to recruit and retain the best staff, support their ongoing development, and create a culture and environment in which they can thrive and perform at their best both individually and collectively.”
