Pros
Flexible working hours, staff was looked out for as much as was possible in the higher education constraints

- Current Contractor, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Very relaxed and seems to really care about staff's work/life balance, allowing flexible working if situations arise such as family care, appointments etc. I have learned so much since starting here, loads of opportunities to attend seminars and presentations to constantly expand knowledge. Really friendly and helpful staff (in my experience), feel very welcomed and supported
Cons
My only con is that I am a grant funded member of staff, which means my job is only secure for a certain length of time, otherwise I'd work here forever!
