Working and career at HSB

The Bremen public service offers secure and versatile jobs for all its employees.

Moreover, we support you in providing for a supplementary pension. You can find out about this attractive proposition under VBL.

We offer highly flexible working-time models, which also include home office. This gives you every opportunity to establish a satisfactory work-life balance.

Almost all positions are designed in such a way that part-time work is also possible. If you are interested in a particular vacancy, you can contact the person named in the job advertisement with any questions you may have about working hours.

The Hochschule Bremen is located in the Neustadt district near the city centre and is easily accessible by public transport. You can take advantage of discounts on buses, trams, and trains with the so-called Jobticket offered by a consortium of public transport providers. And if you sign up for a ‘WK-Bike’ there are bicycles you can even use free of charge.

And if you prefer to use your own bike, we offer protected bicycle parking – at some locations even with a charging station for your e-bike. Speaking of bicycles: Did you know that the university is located in the middle of a particularly bicycle-friendly part of town known as the ‘bicycle district’? The surrounding streets and traffic flows are designed specifically with the needs of cyclists in mind. And if your bicycle needs a repair, the Repair Café will fix it for you.

We have been conducting the ‘Family-friendly university’ audit regularly since 2005 – and we really practice what we preach by promoting the compatibility of family and career in every way we possibly can. Feel free to talk to us about working-time models, dual-career options, childcare and other topics that are important to you.

The Hochschule Bremen supports the toddler care association Flummi e. V. - Eltern-Kind-Initiative an der Hochschule Bremen and Socke e. V.

The Studierendenwerk Bremen (Student Services Office) provides a range of services for the well-being of HSB members, especially in the area of food and refreshments.

We would be very happy to have you join us! If you do, to make your start easier we have developed an introductory programme for all new employees. You will receive all the important information right at the beginning, and colleagues will be at hand to answer any questions you may have in your area of work.

The Hochschule Bremen has its own personnel development department, which offers a wide spectrum of customised training measures. You can also take advantage of the central further education programme offered by the Training and Further Education Centre of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.

And if you have additional training needs, you can take advantage of Bildungszeit (training time) under the Bremen Bildungszeitgesetz (Training Time Act): Every year, you can take a total of five days educational leave to attend training measures of your choice. Questions in this context should be addressed to the Human Resources Department.

We place great emphasis on the needs and priorities of our female employees. The Equal Opportunities Office and the Women's Office support women in their very special concerns. And we pay special attention to female pupils and students who are interested in the field of mathematics, information technology, natural sciences and technology (the MINT subjects).

Diversity is perceived as an opportunity. The Hochschule Bremen is among the first universities to have already implemented the second action plan in the framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Take a look at our action plan for more information on this. You will see that we have spread our measures very widely: The whole theme of accessibility is top priority in the design and construction of HSB buildings. Moreover, we take barrier-free communication very seriously, and we take care to ensure that everything surrounding student studies and employees’ workplaces is adapted to the needs of people with disabilities.

No shortage of offers here, either.

Sports enthusiasts can participate in activities and courses organised by the university sports association. Moreover, the Hochschule Bremen itself also supports some very special sports events.

In addition, you also have the opportunity to benefit from discounts via the Qualitrain offer of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.

Culture is important to us. We engage in literature via poetryontheroad, try our hand at theatre and make music. We cordially invite you to participate as much as you want!

If you still have any questions, let us know and we will be happy to help you!
