The University does not have a centralised HR function: each department has an HR contact or HR team and most questions about employment matters need to be addressed to them in the first instance. You can find departmental websites via the 'Departments and Divisions' link on the
University's Home Page.
If you know the name of the person you need to contact you can find their contact details via the
Contact Search on the Staff Gateway. Otherwise the following may be helpful:

- Support and academic-related staff - speak to your line manager, or get in touch with the HR contact/team in your department
- UAS staff - speak to your line manager or, for general enquiries, contact uashr@admin.ox.ac.uk

I need to contact someone about a reference for a University employee
The University does not have a centralised HR function and the records needed for referencing are only held within individual departments. If you need a reference for a University employee (current or past) please ask the individual to give you contact details for the HR team in the department where they were employed.
