It is an exciting time to join the team, as we are currently in Phase One of a three-phase programme, running until 2027, to deliver a new estate; supporting the University’s overarching strategy, with the design and construction of new teaching, leisure and accommodation facilities, alongside the repair and refurbishments to the existing infrastructure and buildings.

Working at the University provides a wide-range of benefits, including but not limited to: generous pension plans, a pay and grading structure which supports career progression, generous annual leave and customary days.
