Individuals who have left academic or professional services posts in a UK university since January 2020 or are thinking of leaving academic or professional services posts are invited to respond to research being done by the University of Bristol, Swansea University and the Centre for Higher Education Transformation on why academic and professional services staff are leaving UK higher education posts in favour of alternative forms of employment.
Amongst other things the research addresses is what the positive and negative aspects of working in UK universities are and what would make UK universities better places to work.
If you would like to contribute, the deadline for responses is Friday 14 October 2022.
The survey can be found here.
