Long service recognition

Colleagues who achieve significant durations of service with Oxford Brookes University or its predecessors will be recognised formally by the University by means of a financial gift:

• £50 on completion of 10 years’ service
• £75 on completion of 15 years’ service
• £100 on completion of 20 years’ service
• £345 on completion of 25 years' service 

The award will be paid via salaries, and is also subject to standard deductions, for example tax and National Insurance.

The amount provided to colleagues who achieve 25 years’ service is inclusive of a contribution towards a celebratory meal. 

Colleagues will receive a personal congratulatory note from their PVC Dean or Director; or, for those reaching 25 years’ service, a note from the Vice-Chancellor.

An annual event will also take place to recognise staff who have achieved 25 years of service.

We are proud that we are able to offer financial recognition as a thank you to colleagues who have served the University for substantial periods of time.  

In July/August each year, a list is sent by the People Directorate to PVC Deans and Directors of those colleagues who will complete 10, 15, 20 or 25 years of continuous service during the next 12 months. This enables PVC Deans and Directors to congratulate the staff member when they reach the anniversary.

The People Directorate and Payroll will arrange for the awards to be paid in the anniversary month and colleagues will receive this via their salary. 

Faculties/directorates are responsible for sending a congratulatory note to the staff member.

We will notify VCG and faculties and directorates of any colleagues who are approaching their 25-year anniversary.
