We are pleased to announce the launch of our new Benefits Platform, hosted by Vivup. This is a single portal to bring together and make more visible the wide range of benefits we offer as an employer.
At the university, we recognise the value that employee benefits bring to our community. This new platform is a significant step in that direction in enhancing benefits as part of our staff experience. By consolidating all our current benefits into one easy-to-access platform, we aim to make it simpler for you to take full advantage of everything we offer.
Did you know the university currently offers all these benefits:
- Free counselling services through Health Assured
- Cycle to work scheme
- Electric vehicle salary sacrifice scheme
- Staff discount at Team Bath gym
- Staff discounts on postgraduate tuition fees
- Staff discount on language courses
- Generous employer contributory pension schemes
- Generous annual leave allowance with an additional 5 discretionary days so that you can enjoy a positive work life balance
- A wide range of personal and professional development opportunities including Apprenticeships, LinkedIn Learning and more
- Free entry to the Holburne Museum in Bath

In addition to these, Vivup provides lifestyle savings, allowing you to enjoy discounts from leading UK retailers, restaurants, food delivery services, utility providers, and attractions. The platform also includes a home and electronics scheme, enabling you to spread the cost of thousands of tech appliances, and homeware items from Currys and John Lewis & Partners.
We are committed to continually expanding our benefits to better support you and enhance your experience with us.
