The core strength of the University of Stirling is our people. To build on our success, we invest in the best staff from around the world to deliver on our ambitious strategies for research, teaching and our international partnerships. Our staff guide and inspire our students to become graduates with the knowledge and skills to help shape the world.
As a direct result of strategic investment in our department, we have a number of vacancies within the Human Resources and Organisation Development team (HR&OD). This investment demonstrates our commitment to attracting, developing and retaining exceptional talent at the University. These new roles will offer individuals the opportunity to make a significant impact in shaping the future of our employee experience and contributing to the creation of an environment where all our people can realise their full potential.
This is an exciting time to join the University as we’ve just begun the process of developing our new Strategic Plan and associated People Strategy. HR&OD will play an integral role in developing and delivering core aspects of the People Strategy to enable us to achieve our strategic objectives. This will include a particular focus on staff experience to ensure we can attract, develop and retain the very best talent to deliver our ambitious plans.
At Stirling, everyone has an opportunity to ‘be the difference’. We value potential and aim to retain and attract talented individuals and assist them in realising their full potential.
We currently have two opportunities available in the HR&OD team at the University:
Leading strategically focussed recruitment activity that transforms the way the University attracts, recruits and onboards exceptional talent, putting candidates at the heart of our processes and supporting our aim to be an employer of choice.
Working in partnership with leadership teams across your portfolio to offer HR expertise on how to develop and implement the right people and organisational solutions to support the delivery of business plans and strategy.
Everything we do, as an institution and as individuals, has purpose and impact. As we continue to transform our working practices to meet the needs of the future, we’re involving our people every step of the way.
At the University of Stirling our thinkers are bright, inquisitive and innovative. You will have an opportunity to lead thinking and practice in your area of responsibility to enable delivery of key aspects of the University’s People Strategy and strategic ambitions. You will work closely with senior managers and key stakeholders across the University to make an impact with work that really matters. The work that you do will focus on supporting our people to be the best they can, enabling them to benefit society and make a difference to the communities we serve.
We are a team who support one another to achieve great things.
We work at pace, putting people at the heart of everything we do. We’re not static; we believe in ensuring our work remains dynamic and responsive to external and internal environments. This means we work in an agile way, responding with resilience and identifying and implementing innovative solutions aligned with strategy.

Everyone’s voice matters. Together we collaborate and innovate to deliver what’s best for our people. We value potential and are committed to creating the right opportunities for individuals to contribute and perform, accelerate their skills and career growth, and build and maintain their wellbeing.
Above all, we truly believe in the impact of the work we are doing. The contribution of our Directorate plays a key role in ensuring the University can provide education with a purpose and carry out research which has a positive impact on communities across the globe – addressing real issues, providing solutions and helping to shape society.
