By joining the University of Southampton you will have access to a wide range of benefits in addition to our competitive rates of pay. Our core benefits include pension scheme membership; a generous annual leave allowance (supplemented by University closure days and public holidays) and excellent family leave arrangements (including maternity, paternity, adoption and parental leave). There is also a great range of professional development training and resource to support your ambitions. The University takes the wellbeing of our staff and students very seriously and we are committed to positively promoting physical and mental wellbeing.

To view all of our benefits, please see bottom of this page.

We welcome students and staff from all walks of life, and we champion a uniquely diverse working environment in which every colleague can excel, regardless of their background or life choices. We invite like-minded people into our community: people who care about changing the world, and who share our passion and vision for creating an innovative and forward-thinking learning and research environment.

We take a flexible approach, where possible, to accommodate life with work and recognise the importance of supporting, celebrating and respecting life outside work. We are progressing plans to fully imbed hybrid working, with many members of staff already taking this approach, however we appreciate this may not work or everyone and we are more than happy to have open and honest conversations with all our staff about how, where and when you might work best to deliver in your role.
