Team Teesside says we are part of something bigger than ourselves, and the stories and examples on this page demonstrate that we can achieve great things together.
Team Teesside means working together to achieve the best results no matter your role, and supporting each other through the highs and lows.
Team Teesside is a passion, it's more than just phrase, Embedded deep within it's a culture each of us portrays, We all support each other to achieve our very best, With innovation and communication the key to our success, We may be small, but mighty. We inspire, and we have spirit, I'm proud to be Team Teesside and so is everyone who's in it.
Team Teesside to me encompasses collaborative thinking and working. We've achieved so much already and it's exciting to see where we will go next.
The brilliance of Team Teesside is how it empowers people to believe they can make a difference. By encouraging self-development and continuous growth, it has enhanced my confidence and helped me translate my social-conscience into actions to the community.
Team Teesside means something different to all of us, and here are some examples of words colleagues have used to describe what it means to them.
Why not drop us a line and tell us what Team Teesside means to you?
Thousands of graduates celebrated their academic achievements at Summer Graduation 2022. The ceremonies were extremely successful, thanks to a remarkable team effort that exemplified our Team Teesside ethos.
To recognise this, we have produced a short video montage to celebrate you - the incredibly diverse, talented, and supportive people who always put our students first.
We hope you enjoy watching the video and spotting friends, colleagues and possibly even yourself, and that you feel inspired by what we achieved by working together.
I've recently started working at Teesside and I've found the campus to be very welcoming and accommodating. I work in the catering department and it's amazing how much thought is given to the many different cultures here, and reassuring students we can cater for their needs and make their University experience a happy and positive one .
I’m proud to be a part of such a warm community as Team Teesside, as both a graduate and member of staff. There is a true sense of belonging, teamwork and camaraderie in the University which is very rare to find and this makes for a fantastic working environment.
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.
Team Teesside has given me the opportunity for me to work somewhere for over 20 years, with talented friends who want the best for the each other, the University, the town and the region. There’s nowhere else I’d rather work and no other colleagues would could compare. Long may it continue.
Working together as Team Teesside, we achieve our shared goals by demonstrating our seven core values and behaviours in everything that we do.
Here are some examples of how and why Team Teesside delivers.
We do our best to produce work of the highest standard, every time.
We rise to every challenge, find solutions, and encourage others to do the same.
We choose to be creative, act smarter, and achieve better results.
We celebrate the fact we are all different and we are all equal. We are all Team Teesside.
We communicate clearly and openly to share our knowledge and help others achieve their best.
We act with the long-term interests of the University at heart and consider all factors that could affect our ability to grow.
We have confidence in our ability to take responsibility and lead by example.
Our Team Teesside colleagues and students regularly receive national and international recognition for their outstanding talent, hard work and achievements in their chosen fields and the wider community.
We are proud of all the Team Teesside members who stepped up to help vulnerable people during the COVID-19 pandemic, and all our other colleagues and students who go out of their way to make a difference in their local communities.
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.
Team Teesside for me is all about inclusion and feeling connected to the overall objectives and aspirations of the University. It's about knowing we can all play our part, no matter how small, in making this the best University for students and staff.
There is a sense of belonging as a member of Team Teesside. Together, the team accomplishes its goals, celebrates success, and overcomes challenges.
Team Teesside is about working together to provide the best for our current and prospective students, to give them an experience they will always remember. It's also about colleagues and creating an enjoyable workplace. It's making Teesside the best place it can be. It's about achieving and celebrating success.
