Pay & Reward

Pay: Our graded progression ensures you’re continually rewarded, with annual pay increases in line with sector standards. We are a living wage employer and our minimum pay rate exceeds the Voluntary Living Wage.

Recognition: We are committed to recognising and rewarding staff for exceptional performance and commitment through a selection of schemes.

Pension Scheme: We offer two generous pension schemes – Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and the University of Bath Group Pension Plan (UoBGPP). Both schemes include a provision for ill-health, a death in service lump sum payment and an annual pension.

Relocation and immigration assistance: We offer support packages available for new and existing staff to help with the cost of relocation and immigration while working here.

Cost of living advice and support: We are a Living Wage employer and we are very mindful of the cost of living pressures. We provide guidance on ways you can save money, make your budget go further and access help and advice.

Work-life balance

Hybrid working: Hybrid working benefits your own work-life balance and enables us to create a thriving and caring University campus community, in which every staff member is able to work as successfully as possible in a safe and secure way. We have a hybrid working model for professional services staff who are able to carry out their work remotely.

Annual and additional leave: We offer generous holiday entitlements. In addition all full time staff are entitled to eight public holidays and an additional five discretionary days when the University is closed (pro rata for part time staff).

Family friendly workplace: For those with family/caring responsibilities, we have a package of family friendly policies which provide for flexible working, additional paid maternity and paternity leave, parental leave and leave for family emergencies.

Amenities: You’ll also have access to our world-renowned sports facilities and beautiful walks and running routes through the campus and surrounding countryside so that you can maintain a healthy, active lifestyle working at Bath.

Employee discounts

Shopping discounts: As a member of staff, you’ll gain access to discounts across a number of local and national retailers and local Bath attractions.

Cycle to work: Our employees can take advantage of the government cycle to work scheme. You can also benefit from employee discounts available at a selection of bike shops.

Electric vehicle scheme: We have recently introduced an electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme.

Onsite parking: If you’re driving to work, there is subsidised parking available on site which costs £1.40 a day for occasional users, with the option to buy monthly or annual permits.

Give as you earn: We are registered with the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) who operate a Give As You Earn (GAYE) service, helping you to give back to the wider community at a lesser cost through salary sacrifice, meaning your chosen charity receives a larger donation.

Childcare: We have an on-site nursery − Westwood Nursery, which is Ofsted rated ‘Outstanding’. Parents whose children attend this nursery have the opportunity to join our salary exchange childcare scheme, nursery plus, to help alleviate childcare expenses.
