Benefits

Health and well-being first

At the University of Ostrava, we believe that satisfied and healthy employees are the key to success. That′s why we offer 6 weeks of vacation per year (for administrative staff) and 8 weeks of vacation per year (for academic staff) so that everyone can enjoy enough rest and time for themselves and their loved ones. To this we add 5 sick days, because we know that prevention and regeneration are essential.

We also support prevention for our employees - there is a vaccination center of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Ostrava, where you can get vaccinated under the supervision of top doctors. And if a more thorough examination is needed, we offer the possibility of using magnetic resonance imaging, with an appointment within 14 days.

Movement as a part of life

We support an active lifestyle through the MultiSport card, which gives you access to a wide network of sports facilities. To this we add 200 CZK credit for shared bikes so that you can move around the city quickly, ecologically and with joy. Employees can also take advantage of a discount on admission to the new multifunctional sports complex City Campus.

Support for education and personal development

Education is our mission – and not just for students. Therefore, we offer English language courses and other educational programs to our employees to help expand their knowledge and skills. There is also access to the services of the University Library, including a wide range of e-books through Bookport. And if you like to be inspired by good books or are looking for a practical mug or T-shirt with the OU logo, you can buy it at our OUshop with a 15% discount.

We also provide access to the Seduo platform, where a wide range of online courses can be taken without restrictions. Everyone can grow and develop at a pace that suits them.

Family benefits and housing

We also think of the families of our employees. For their children, we offer the possibility of placing them in the Elánek kindergarten with a 50% discount on the kindergarten fee, which makes it easier to reconcile work and family life.

In addition, employees can take advantage of rent discounts at Heimstaden, which helps to find quality housing under more favorable conditions.

Financial benefits and flexibility

We will make every working day more pleasant with meal vouchers worth CZK 123, which contribute to quality lunches. Thanks to T-Mobile′s discounted mobile tariffs, employees can reduce their telephone and internet costs.

We also offer flexible working hours and occasional home office because we understand that work-life balance is key.

Culture and Leisure

Culture is part of the life of the university – employees have free access to concerts of the Faculty of Arts, where they can soak up inspiration and musical experiences. In addition, we offer benefits as part of various discount programs with partners, which include restaurants, financial products or other services.

Stable and friendly working environment

At the University of Ostrava, we appreciate the friendly atmosphere and professional background. We offer work in a stable institution with a long tradition, where we value our employees and create an environment that fosters cooperation, innovation and personal growth.
