Sheffield Business School has approximately 6,000 students and 220 academic staff. It has a long history dating back to the 1950’s, before it was formally branded as the Sheffield Business School in 1986, which has since had significant success. We are a leading applied Business School with a mission to lead transformative change for our students, businesses, and society.
As a member of our community, you will join a diverse group of talented academics who pride themselves in developing inclusive teaching and learning experience and engage in scholarship and knowledge exchange that makes a real societal impact.
We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.
You will be contractually enrolled into the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) – one of the largest and most generous defined-benefit pension schemes in the country.
Each year you will earn a secure pension benefit of 1/57th of your salary and the University will pay pension contributions towards the cost of this pension (currently worth about 29% of your salary). For a starting salary of £40,000, for example, the University would pay just over £11,400 in the first year of your employment and you would earn a pension of £702 p.a. for that year (payable from your State Pension Age).

If you’re a member of the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) directly before joining us, you can choose to remain in USS instead.
