benefits
CAR PARKING
As a non-contractual benefit at the date of this policy, we have car parking
facilities on our main site, which you will be free to use, at our discretion,
during your normal working hours. The College does not accept any
liability for damage to private vehicles parked on College premises,
however such damage may be caused.
DINING HALL
At present, and when the Dining Hall is open to staff members, one free
meal is available to all staff who work both before and after the lunch
period (12.30pm to 1.00pm). The College Porters are entitled to a free
meal during every shift that they are on duty.
The non-contractual benefits referred to in paragraphs i and ii above are
subject to such terms and conditions as we may impose from time to time
and may be varied or withdrawn at our discretion.
STAFF SOCIAL ACTIVITIES
Organised staff social events typically take place in the summer and winter.
In early summer, staff are granted an additional day’s paid leave to
participate in outings arranged by the Staff Social Committee, or by their
Department. These activities are optional, but staff who choose not to
participate are required to work as normal.

TAFF HANDBOOK
Before the start of a new academic year, we endeavour to organise a cricket
match between staff and Fellows. Staff, Fellows, and spectators are welcome
and refreshments are provided. Those staff who do not attend as players or
spectators are required to work as normal.
