Work-life Balance

There are so many benefits of working at Newcastle University: find out about our annual leave, support for family and dependants and volunteering opportunities.

Annual leave

All regular colleagues are entitled to 30 days annual leave per annum, plus eight bank holidays and four university discretionary closure days, known as Christmas shutdown.  All annual leave entitlement is pro-rated for part time colleagues. There is an option to purchase additional annual leave too regardless of your length of service.


Family and dependants

We are proud to offer opportunities for hybrid working and a range of flexible working options that support our colleagues needs.


Volunteering

You can take two days per year to attend any event of your choice to volunteer.
