Personnel Office staff aim to ensure that disabled employees are not denied opportunities for training, extra responsibility or more demanding work because of preconceived ideas about the limitations imposed by their disability. Good relationships are maintained with the local DRO, PACT team and Finchale Training College to enhance recruitment and training opportunities. If you have a disability and have a particular need regarding equipment or other facilities to assist your work, you should contact the Director of Personnel or his staff. There are two main facilities which staff may use, the Graham Sports Centre at Maiden Castle and the Racecourse Complex. Full details about membership fees, facilities, activities and booking arrangements may be obtained from the Graham Sports Centre office.
New members are always welcome.
You are encouraged to bring conferences to the University. The Commercial Office, based in Old Shire Hall, can help you to prepare a business plan if appropriate and to liaise on your behalf with an appropriate College or Colleges. Most Colleges can also provide facilities for staff functions, the entertainment of staff guests, external examiners, etc. Facilities may also be available for private functions. Full details are obtainable by contacting the Payroll Manager in the Salaries Section of the Treasurer's Department.
