What makes working at Durham University so rewarding?

Working at Durham University means being part of something special, right in the heart of a community. 

For many of our professional colleagues, it’s primarily about helping students develop as highly motivated, well-rounded and socially engaged leaders of tomorrow.

For other professional colleagues, it’s about helping to keep our services running as smoothly as possible so that we can support our diverse and vibrant community of staff and students.

And that’s only the beginning of the story.

Because whatever our role, we each find working here rewarding in our own way.

We offer much more than just a job
