People and Organisation Development (P&OD)

Our purpose is to enable UWE Bristol to achieve its strategic ambitions, where people thrive and flourish within an inclusive culture throughout their journey with us. As an employer of choice, we are recognised for our values and as a place where everyone can make a positive difference.
