These pages aim to bring together information about services and facilities offered to the staff of the University of Leicester, in particular the services offered by the Staff Counselling and Welfare Service, and Occupational Health service who, (whilst being part of personnel services) offer completely confidential and impartial advice on the matters described. Collectively we are called THE WELLBEING CENTRE.
We aim to give details of facilities and opportunities to all those employed by the University. However, some facilities may only be available to certain employees, for example, free eye tests available for those who need safety glasses or use a computer.

Well-being depends upon where your interests lie and encompasses different things for different people. If you have started a new job, maintaining your mental health may be a primary concern alongside logisticall and practical aspects of your new role.
Achieving a good balance between work and caring responsibilties is of concern to working parents but also to those who care for others, such as, elderly relatives.
Alternatively you may be near to retirement and concerned about the state of your financial health, or you may be wondering how to maintain your physical health when you retire.
provide some answers to frequently asked questions and to point you in the right direction should you need more detailed help. These pages are concerned with aspects of University life that are not directly linked to your working life but that may enhance your time here and so benefit your work life balance.
