Working at ARU

We welcome talent from a diverse range of backgrounds and our roles vary enormously; you could be lecturing students, building relationships with stakeholders, or supporting others as part of a team. But we’re all ambassadors for our University, living and breathing the same values and united by the shared conviction that together we make a great community.

With an agile working culture to enable staff to work flexibly to balance the demands of their role and organisational requirements with their personal circumstances, a competitive salary and extensive benefits including a generous relocation package, you will have access to wellbeing, learning and development support to ensure you thrive at ARU.

Realising ambitions together

We’ve got a single minded direction: realising ambitions together. Our people have a positive, can-do attitude which helps us realise these ambitions.

For our students, staff, the businesses, and communities we support, and our many education and commercial partners, we collaborate to deliver tangible results.

Our community is incredibly important to us and, as an employer, we're proud of the role we play in our cities and the wider region – including the positive effect on jobs and the local economy. If you can work to these values, then consider a career with us.
