The Coaching Network aims to support the development of all staff to think through their options in relation to a range of situations they may be dealing with in the workplace and it is designed to complement other learning and development interventions available to staff within the university, in line with the university values.
Staff may access coaching:
The coaches within the Network come from a range of academic and professional services roles bringing a range of experience and insight to the coaching role. All coaches have attended accredited coaching training with the Chartered Management Institute.
All staff can apply to the Network to have their own coach for up to five sessions (one initial "chemistry" session and four coaching sessions) over a four to six-month period. Coachees will need to complete an to enable them to be matched with a suitable coach as quickly as possible.

The Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Programme is a collaborative learning experience for senior leaders in which both sides may provide and receive assistance and support.
The focus of the Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Programme is its capacity to promote growth in personal and professional awareness around diversity issues in a safe and confidential environment.
The programme will typically involve a series of one-hour, one-to-one sessions over a six-month period, and the frequency of mentoring meetings may vary according to the needs and objectives of the mentee.
To ensure a confidential space is created for both parties, pairings will not be from the same faculty or directorate.

In contrast to traditional mentoring, the Reverse Mentoring Programme is an opportunity for individuals from underrepresented groups such as BAME, LGBT+ and disability to work as partners with senior leaders to share knowledge and insight.
The programme encourages meaningful understanding of the lived experiences of staff along with creating a space for discussion around diversity issues in the workplace and future goals of the organisation in a safe and confidential environment.
The programme will typically involve a series of one-hour, one-to-one sessions over a six-month period, and the frequency of mentoring meetings may vary according to the agreed goals and objectives of the programme.
Pairs will be randomly matched, and to ensure a confidential space is created for both parties, pairings will not be from the same faculty or directorate.
