Health and Support at work

As employees of the University there are a number of ways in which the University can support you in times of need. The University’s Occupational Health Service has lots of helpful information on their webpages but can also help more directly through counselling and other related services.

The University is committed to creating an environment where "everybody is supported to feel and perform at their best as part of the University community". Please use the resources listed on the University’s Thriving at Oxford webpages to help look after yourself and your colleagues.
