“The flexibility of UCL and particularly OVPD’s attitude towards supporting flexible working was what attracted me most. It was one of the few places when I was looking for a new job that openly welcomed part-time working. Quite uniquely, I am a professional athlete and ride with the GB Para-cycling Team so was looking for a role that would allow me the flexibility to train around work. UCL allowed me the opportunity to progress my career in communications without sacrificing my training needs. Liz Saul, Communications Manager, Office of the Vice-Provost (Development)
“My success at UCL has only been possible with my colleagues generous support, especially in the early days when I first arrived. For example, Prof. Muki Haklay helped me secure funding from Arup to start my first project here, my old Geomatic group colleagues helped me polish my English for my first grant application, and my Head of Department (Prof. Nick Tylor) and UCL research facilitators (Dr Andrew Clark and Dr Mat Davis) have been very helpful for my grants applications. The department has been very supportive for my team and my collaboration with China. Professor Tao Cheng
“A few years back, I became very sick and nearly died. My recovery was long and difficult but my team at UCL at that time were so supportive and I was eased back into working in a phased way, which really did take away a lot of the pressure and anxiety I was feeling about returning: it means a lot when you know people care. Ash Talwar, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Manager
