Pros

Majority of the individuals who work here are really great people to work with

Cons

Senior leaders have no intrinsic desire to improve culture, all initiatives are tick box type moments in time that amount to very little,

Thank you for providing your feedback and it is great to hear that you enjoyed working with your colleagues. It is unfortunate to hear that during your time with Worcester College that you felt feedback was not acted upon. We have recently undertaken a Staff Survey and are working through the responses to this and will be feeding back and gaining input from staff on putting their suggestions into actions, including through a staff voice forum.

Pros

The team I worked with were fantasic, warm and wonderful to be around. The College itself is beautiful. Everyone here takes great pride in contributing to the College. The grounds team are absolutely brilliant- so much of their efforts and passion can be seen in the beauty of the gardens. The Provost is wonderful and is really changing the College to better suit and reflect the times we live in. No aspect of the College and it's teams are lesser than each other- it really is a harmonius environment to work within, anyone would thrive here! There's a real sense of nurture and helpfulness here. The food is absolutely delicious- almost feels too good to be true. There is a wide range of incredible food option that caters to all dietary needs and ensures staff and students are looked after well. Overall, my time working at Worcester College has been my most pleasant working experience. It will be hard for my future employers to top.

Cons

I wish my contract at this College was permanent.

Pros

Beautiful grounds Good food Good location

Cons

In my opinion there is considerable antagonism between the staff (not faculty, just staff), this leads to a very high turnover rate,

Thank you for your feedback, There are many positives about working here at Worcester College, and I am pleased to see that you have recognised just a few of them. I am sorry to hear that you feel this way about the staff at Worcester College. Feel free to contact me if you would be able to give some examples so we can look into your concerns further. We have recently undertaken a Staff Survey and introduced a Staff Liaison Committee to ensure there is a mechanism for staff feedback and are working on developing our values around Community and Inclusion. In addition, the staff turnover at Worcester College is only 4% since the start of the year. Thank you for taking your time to send this review. Kelly Haddrell. HR Manager.
