Induction
For other information you might find interesting as a new staff member - such as Queen Mary citizenship, staff networks, and other sources of development - you can explore the New Staff webpages.
Your local induction
Your line manager will arrange your local induction and let you know about any training you need specific to your role (such as Hazardous Substance Risk Assessment or Manual Lifting and Handling).
Mandatory training
All new starters at QMUL have to complete the training specified on the Mandatory Training page. You may also have to repeat some training (e.g. Fire Safety) if you have moved to a different site.
Some training is mandatory depending on your role or tasks; for example, you’ll need to attend a Recruitment & Interview Selection session if you’ll be on shortlisting and interview panels. Your line manager will advise you.
Welcome Event
New members of staff will need to book themselves onto the staff welcome event run by the Internal Engagement team. These events are only for staff. They take place in interesting spaces at one of QMUL’s 5 campuses and are usually half a day in length.
You will meet many colleagues from across the university, hear about current areas of interest and development from Queen Mary staff teams, and meet the Principal, with a chance to raise questions about your time at QMUL. Whether you are involved in academic research, teaching, or supporting students and staff, the afternoon is a great opportunity to find out more about the university's working culture and values, its role nationally in higher education, and its impact in the local community and across the world.
To book please visit CPD Training.
