All non-academic posts were evaluated in 2008 using the HERA (Higher Education Role Analysis) scheme. Churchill was the first Cambridge college to implement HERA, which has also been used by the University of Cambridge and 127 other universities and colleges of higher and further education. As a consequence of HERA all salaries and gradings are in line with the College's equal pay policy, and the College is able to fulfil its commitment to equal pay for work of equal value.

Further information about HERA can be found on the ECC website. For further information about the Churchill approach to HERA, please contact the HERA project manager, Paula Halson, on Registrar@chu.cam.ac.uk. Mrs Halson is also the Registrar and Human Resources Bursar.
