Significant investment in our campus and facilities, the development of forward-thinking new partnerships and an enhanced range of contemporary courses have helped make us the fastest growing University in the U.K over the past two years.

Now we’re building on that achievement, developing a new Strategy for the next decade, emphasising our commitment to widening opportunity through the power of education and contributing our talents to creating a fairer world and a more prosperous region.

We’re putting inspirational learning and impactful research at the heart of this strategy, and here at York St John University it is recognised that alongside our academics the technical team play an integral part in supporting learning and research.

As part of our expansion we are recruiting for a Games Design Technical Demonstrator with specialist skills in 3D modeling software packages, intermediate experience of Unity and/or Unreal; Photoshop skills would also be desirable.
