Our people

Our staff come from across Leicestershire, the Midlands and the globe bringing with them an incredible diversity of viewpoints, beliefs, attitudes and approaches which enrich both the University and the city.

With more than 4,000 staff working in a wide range of roles across teaching, research and professional services and that are both campus and non-campus based, we can offer a career path that truly exceeds expectation.

A truly inclusive university where we can all expect to be treated fairly and with respect, we value, nurture and celebrate our people and the uniqueness they bring.  Our continued work to advance equity, diversity and inclusion is recognised through the award of coveted EDI Charter marks including Athena Swan, Race Equality Charter, Disability Confident Leader and LGBT+ Inclusion Award.
