People Services

Our purpose is to enable UWE Bristol to achieve its strategic ambitions, where people thrive and flourish within an inclusive culture throughout their journey with us. As an employer of choice, we are recognised for our values and as a place where everyone can make a positive difference.

We are dedicated to investing in our people and their wellbeing, and creating an environment where everyone can succeed. Our service is organised around three key themes of culture, talent and staff journey and we provide people expertise, advice and guidance, along with data and tools in these areas.
