Our comprehensive package of wellbeing initiatives is designed to benefit all our staff. Find out more about the range of support on offer.
Staff Wellbeing Strategy 2022-2026
Our Wellbeing Strategy builds on some of the important work done by the University’s Wellbeing Board over the past 5 years. Developed in response to the findings of the 2019 Staff Survey and 2020 Pulse Survey, ongoing consultation with colleagues, and the changing working practices, it lays out our 4-year action plan for staff wellbeing.
Wellbeing Hub
Our dedicated Wellbeing Hub is a vital tool for all staff. Here you’ll find a range of resources on mental and physical health as well as information on the supportive services that can help whenever you need it.
Occupational health
Our Occupational Health Service provides services to protect the health of staff and students. This can include supporting you at work, in training, and in study. The team works to assess fitness for work, training and study, and helps manage health issues effectively through adaptations to ways of working, training and studying that fit individual needs.
Active Liverpool
Our modern Sports Centre offers discounted memberships for staff to help you keep fit and healthy. Dive into our 25-metre swimming pool, work out in our state-of-the-art fitness centre, or enjoy a variety of fitness classes. We also have sports halls, squash courts, and other fantastic facilities. Plus, there are outdoor sports pitches available to use off campus.
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
We want to offer all the support we can while you work here. That's why all members of staff benefit from 24/7 access to free confidential services including counselling, legal advice and financial advice, through our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
Faith facilities
Our campus has several dedicated faith facilities including Faith Express (an ecumenical Christian chaplaincy with Anglican, Catholic and Methodist chaplains providing religious and spiritual support to the University community) and a purpose-built Muslim prayer room.
Discounted health plans
You can access discounted healthcare plans for you and your dependents. Whether you're looking for private medical insurance, health cash plans, or dental plans, there are a range of options available.
Enhanced occupational sick pay
We know that being away from work unexpectedly can be a worrying and stressful time. We provide generous levels of sick pay, increasing with service, for colleagues who are unable to work due to sickness.
Staff surveys
We care about what you think and want to use your feedback to improve how we work. Our staff engagement survey is a great way for us to hear your thoughts and understand the issues that matter to you and your colleagues across the University. The survey results help us create action plans that bring positive changes for everyone.
