Do you thrive in a customer-facing environment and have the ability to communicate confidently and effectively with a diverse range of people, including university staff, students, and members of the public? We’re looking for an outgoing and positive individual who can demonstrate initiative, an understanding of equal opportunities, and a commitment to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed.

We are one of the largest providers of Higher Education in the South West with 38,000 students and 4,000 staff from right across the globe. Based in Bristol, one of the UK’s most exciting and forward-thinking cities, we are regionally embedded and globally connected, with an established network of employer and academic partners.

We offer a wide range of employee benefits including progressive pay rates.

We particularly encourage applications from global majority candidates as we are currently under-represented in this area, however all appointments are made strictly on individual merit. As a Disability Confident employer, we welcome applications from those who identify as having a disability.
