is committed to creating a supportive environment for everyone, enabling them to develop their abilities and make the best contribution they can to the work of the College. We want Jesus College to be the ‘employer of choice’ in Oxford.
Career development
As a College, we strive for excellence in
our approach to developing skills.To make
the College an attractive employer we are committed to ensuring that staff are trained and developed appropriately to meet their own career aspirations.We will achieve this by:
Enhancing our existing approach to training and development.We aim to develop and commission programmes which will achieve a balance between equipping people to deliver current College goals, preparing them for the changing requirements of future roles and offering opportunity for personal growth; Using technology to create a range of learning opportunities accessible to our employees and make associated resources available to continue to develop learning.As part of this we will improve IT facilities and the College’s approach to digital communications; and Establish effective career planning and development reviews so that we set clear expectations as to what is expected of staff in their roles and as advocates of the College.
“
The College has a strong commitment to the well-being of its Fellows and staff. It must be a progressive, collaborative and inclusive place of work in which all feel valued, respected and part of the College community
