Human Resources Department
The Human Resources Department offers a range of services to support managers and staff with both operational and strategic matters.
University staff and students
The primary way to contact HR Shared Services, Employee Relations and Management Information and Systems teams is by raising a Service Request in UniCore using Help Desk. Requesting support in this way will ensure that your request is received by the correct HR team without delay.
Guides and support for using UniCore are available, but if you are unable to access the UniCore Help Desk, you can submit your Service Request by contacting the relevant team by email.
If you would prefer to speak to a member of our HR Shared Services Team, you can still give us a call on: 0115 748 4800 ext: 84880.
