Trent HR College and Service users

Midland Trent HR allows authorised users to view and/or edit information stored on the Trent system about University staff. The level of access for each Trent HR user is controlled by the role they have been assigned. Users can have multiple roles.

There are a number of Trent HR roles for managers and administrators in Colleges and Services

  • College / Service Manager
  • People Manager
  • College / Service Finance Officer
  • Sickness Information Coordinator
  • Annual Leave Administrator

Access is being rolled-out to managers and administrators as part of an ongoing dialogue between Human Resources and each of the University’s Colleges and Services.

Please note that users are currently only able to access this system using PCs that are part of the University’s network; attempts to access Trent HR from outside the University will be denied.
