I am proud to work for Team Teesside. Each member of staff is so committed to providing the best possible service for our students - but most of all it is that sense of community which makes coming to work so much more enjoyable.

With regards Team Teesside I feel very much that I am part of something bigger and something that helped me on the down days during the pandemic. I'm very proud of how staff and students rose to the challenge of the pandemic and did so much for the community.

I have always said I have a soft spot for the students we have at Teesside. They are the strongest I have come across and make me proud.

I can honestly say that the collaborative spirit at the University is quite unique. This is what I think is special about Team Teesside - there is a 'can-do' mentality and people are happy to pull together to make things happen.

I am fiercely proud to have gained all my academic and professional accolades at Teesside University.

Pete Brown, Course Leader/Senior Lecturer, Operating Department Practice Studies, School of Health & Life Sciences

To me, Team Teesside is all about community and respect. It doesn’t matter if you’re homegrown or from somewhere else, everyone feels welcome and part of a family here. It feels like being part of a team and as someone who wasn’t a local, I’m so glad it exists.

Kirsty-Louise Ferguson, HR Assistant , Human Resources

I'm new to Teesside but have worked in HE for many years. I know that if all staff, no matter their role, have a passion to deliver a fantastic student experience our students will feel this and benefit from it. I've found this shared passion at TU - this is Team Teesside.

Dr Nicola Watchman Smith, Deputy Director Student Learning, Student Learning & Academic Registry

To me, Team Teesside means family. In my 12 years here, from my car journey to work and the walk up to my office, every passing colleague feels like family - from distant relatives to close siblings. Every member of Team Teesside to me is reflective of family and the values we live and breathe reflect this.
