Grace Tebbutt
Alumni Volunteer Officer
What first attracted you to join the University of Sheffield?
Security in my career, a range of opportunities across the organisation and being a Sheffielder myself to work somewhere central to the city I love.
What do you enjoy most about working at the University of Sheffield?
Friendly colleagues, lots of different CPD opportunities and events happening. A sense of community.
What do you enjoy about working with your team/department?
A really supportive and friendly team. Colleagues across the department take an interest in each other and we’re all working towards a common cause. The flexibility also means a lot for me as someone with a child.
Do you have any favourite memories from working at the University of Sheffield?
Socials and chance to get to know colleagues. Attending events with students and seeing how our work has a direct impact.
What’s your favourite thing about Sheffield as a city?
There is so much going on. It is really friendly. And it is beautiful and green and the perfect place to be if you like a city life but the chance to escape to the countryside easily.
What would you say to someone who was considering the University as a place to work?
I’d say go for it. I’d say look into what the Department you’re applying to does – what their values and approach are. Think about what the job would involve and find someone who works at the Uni for advice and an insight.
