Transport and Parking
There are various bus and train links to the university and discounted tickets are available for staff. We also offer bike storage on campus and a cycle-to-work scheme. Further information on transport options is available from the Environment Team or can be found in the Travel Options leaflet.

If you intend to travel to work by car, you should check whether parking facilities are available at your location and apply for a permit where applicable.

Your IT Account
Please liaise with your departmental IT contact to set up your university IT account, password and username. IT Services will be able to do this once the Recruitment Team have generated an employee number for you. You will then be able to log in to a university PC, as well as use Blackboard, Wi-Fi and many other IT systems and services. If you require further assistance, contact the IT Service Desk.

Your University Card
You need your University Card for proof of ID to enter buildings and areas where you work, and to gain access to smart printers and other resources. To obtain a card you will need to be registered with the Human Resource database and have your university IT account. Before you place a request for a card, please ensure that your details are correct by checking and updating your record using Employee Self Service. To obtain your card, please go to the Security Lodge, where a photo will be taken and the card produced immediately. Alternatively, if you upload a passport-style photo, your department can request the card via an email to Security. Please note that this email will need to include your name and payroll number.

Employee Self Service
Employee Self Service (ESS) allows staff to validate and update their staff record. This facility is particularly useful for checking your payslips, but you may wish to opt out of ESS correspondence.

Induction
Inductions are typically arranged by each department and you should get in touch with your departmental contact for more information. In addition to this, you can also use the Employee Portal to sign up for the yearly university-wide Information Day.
