Facilities and Benefits
Being a part of the CTRU team gives all the additional benefits of the wider University of Leeds' community.
Stay in tip-top condition at the Edge, the university's state-of-the-art gym complex, learn new skills or get a massage at the staff LOGIK Centre, or join the NUS and enjoy discounts and other benefits at many national venues. Working with us will also give you access to the university's staff counselling services and staff networks, so you can receive the support you need, when you need it.
The University of Leeds also runs three pension schemes (one for academic staff and two for support staff), and supplies discounted bus and rail passes, and runs both a bike hire and Cycle to Work Scheme. Most of these benefits can be paid for directly from your pay cheque for simplicity.

Friendly and Inclusive Environment
As part of the University of Leeds, the CTRU embraces all the campus-wide equality and inclusion policies, and builds on them with our own equality strategy. We currently hold an Athena SWAN Silver Award and are always improving as we work toward the Gold Award.
Most of our work is conducted on a team-based basis, so you will have personal and professional support from your first day of work, and the CTRU prides itself on having a friendly and open staff community. Chat with colleagues in our shared break areas, or join one of our staff social groups, including the legendary Bake Club.
