Parents & carers

Whether you're navigating parenthood, caring for a loved one, or balancing both, we're here to support you.

At The University of Manchester, we recognise the challenges and joys of caring responsibilities and are committed to creating a supportive and inclusive environment for all our staff.

We offer a wide range of policies and resources to help you manage work and care; from flexible working arrangement and special paid leave, to financial support through enhanced rates of pay for family leave and practical tools.

You'll also find connection and community through our vibrant Parents, Carers & Guardians Network, a place where colleagues share experiences and offer peer support, whilst championing change together. 

Here, your role as a parent or carer is understood, respected and valued.
