I worked several part-time jobs which I applied through unitemps. All my jobs have been fun to work and enjoyable.Most of the full-time employees have been working there for over 10 years, and that says a lot.

Pros

Free Lunches, Good Management

Very relaxed place to work, however this is very boring.

Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Liverpool - 13 January 2022

Very relaxed atmosphere, easy and secure job however very little opportunity for progression. The culture is a culture of learning and professionalism.

Pros

Secure job, very little expectations, would have to murder somebody to be fired.

Cons

The senior management click is unbreakable and downright despicable.

Waste of time to apply a job at LJMU.

Support Worker (Current Employee) - Liverpool City Centre, Merseyside - 29 November 2020

I do work at LJMU on daily basis for many years. I have seen many other staffs without any career progression. One of the colleagues said he worked there for 25 years without any career progression. Another said he worked at LJMU for 24 years without any career progression. To this extent, LJMU is worse place to work. No diversity is valued in there.No appreciation for hardworking and honest employee.

Pros

Some people are really nice.

Cons

Bad place to apply jobs, few chance to success. Waste of time.

Engaging and fast-paced place to work

Senior Lecturer (Former Employee) - Liverpool City Centre, Merseyside - 14 April 2020

Pros

Modern environment.

Cons

Work can get bunched at various points in the year increasing stress levels.

Fun and productive workplace

Treasurer (Voluntary) in a Student Research Group (Former Employee) - Liverpool - 4 March 2020

I greatly enjoyed my work experience as a nutrition student here. The atmosphere was very relaxed and productive. There was no pressure to have any specific goal met for a specific time-frame and we were given a lot of freedom to experiment with our own ideas.

terrible atmosphere between low level staff and management

Driver (Current Employee) - Liverpool, Merseyside - 1 March 2020

Wouldn't recommend. Management doesn't consult with people on the ground who know how to do the job. In general atmosphere isn't the best, staff fed up and indifferent now.

Working at LJMU

Executive Assistant (Current Employee) - 2 Rodney Street, Liverpool, L2 2UA - 13 February 2020

An excellent organisation to work in, with staff passionate about the work that they carry out to support students through their academic studies. My typical day requires me to plan my managers workload, manage her inbox and outlook calendar. I have to ensure my manager is fully prepped for all business meetings, key business, data and information regarding operational issues is shared appropriately to ensure business continuity is delivered and deadlines are met. I work closely with the Executive Managers ensuring business needs are met by all stakeholders, this may range from signposting calls from external clients, to holding meeting with her managers to pull together data for a presentation. The hardest part of my job can be arranging meetings at short notice with extremely busy Executives who already have full diaries; this is often achieved with the assistance of their PA's, and lots of negotiation. During my career here, I have had insight into the Academic, Professional and Financial cycle as well as gaining comprehensive knowledge of the functions of LJMU departments and roles of the Directorate. The most enjoyable part of my day is assisting the Executive or their Managers achieve a target or deadline that had a particularly tight turnaround. I enjoy the sense of achievement that is accomplished by teamwork.

Pros

flexible working

Pretty secure but little chance to advance.

Security Officer (Current Employee) - Liverpool, Merseyside - 13 January 2020

John Moores university is an odd place to work. It’s easy going , but it takes a bit to get used to working there. Management are regularly making a mess of things by trying to “Fix things”. Hardest part is getting used to long shifts and being looked down on, but you get used to that.

Learned a lot whilst I worked for JMU

Catering Assistant (Former Employee) - Merseyside - 19 August 2019

Working for JMU was good, the people who I worked with were the best. Downfall is the pay and what is expected of you to do in your pay grade. No overtime available.
