We provide a range of initiatives to help you carry out your job, improve your personal effectiveness and wellbeing, develop leadership and management skills, and support your career progression.

Induction

Every new starter completes a University induction - this welcomes you to Sheffield Hallam and provides you with the information you need to get started. You’ll then follow a local induction facilitated by your line manager and colleagues to embed you into your new job and team.
