State-of-the-art campus
We recently invested £200 million to transform our flagship campus so we have the best facilities in one place.
Our learning and research facilities give you opportunities to broaden your skills and expertise and our generous break-out spaces make room for socialising too.

Pioneering approach to well-being
We take a pro-active approach to your well-being and support you to strike a healthy work-life balance. It’s this approach which lead us to become the first university to be awarded the Mayor for London’s Healthy Workplace Excellence Award.

Flexible working arrangements
We’ll work with you to find out your employment needs - whether that’s an earlier or later start to the day or working from home - we’ll do whatever we can to have you working at your best.

Your guaranteed pension
You will be guaranteed a pension through either the Teachers Pension scheme or the Local Government Pension Scheme depending on your role and our flexible retirement policy means you can start drawing your pension anytime between the ages of 55 and 75.
An inclusive work environment
When you work with us, you become part of an inclusive and progressive community.
We respect, embrace and promote diversity – we believe it makes us better. It is an integral part of who we are and what we stand for and that’s why we are the first university to be awarded the UK Investor in Equality and Diversity (UKIED) Gold Charter Mark.

Spaces to eat, drink and relax
We have a range of affordable cafes and eateries and plenty of shops nearby - like Costcutter and Hendon Bakery - that offer 10% discount to staff and students.
Our campus environment also means we have outdoor spaces - Grove Park, The Paddock and Sunny Hill Park - to take a walk, have a picnic or simply unwind.
