Working flexibly
Hybrid working
Working full-time at the University of Sheffield equates to 35 hours per week. To help you deliver your work more effectively, where possible you can split your time between working on campus and remotely. Additionally, we offer part-time and flexible working opportunities, which will be stated on the job description if available.
Family friendly policies
To support a work-life balance, we offer parental leave, maternity/adoption and paid time off for emergency caring responsibilities which go above statutory entitlements.
Annual leave
The amount of annual leave you are entitled to is dependent on your grade:
- 27 days pro rata for grades 1 to 6
- 30 days pro rata for grades 7 to 9
In addition to 8 bank holidays, you’ll benefit from the three days between Christmas and new year when the University closes (pro rata for part-time staff).
Additional annual leave
You have the option of purchasing up to 10 additional days annual leave each year (pro rata for part time staff). The cost is spread over 12 months.
