At The University of Manchester, your views can shape decisions, your work can drive change and your presence can make a difference.
We are a proud Manchester institution with an international outlook and ambitious plans for the future. Our teaching, research and social responsibility work reaches far beyond our campus, creating positive change across Greater Manchester and around the world.
Our success is made possible by colleagues working across a wide range of roles. Alongside academic and research careers, we offer opportunities in administration, student services, IT, finance, estates and facilities, technical services, communications, marketing, hospitality, cultural institutions, management and professional services.
An inclusive place to work
We want The University of Manchester to be a place where everyone feels welcomed, respected and able to contribute.
Our community reflects a wide range of identities, cultures, backgrounds and experiences. We recognise that this diversity strengthens our University, improves decision-making and helps us better serve our students and wider society.
We are committed to removing barriers within recruitment, career development and working life. Applications are welcomed from every section of the community, particularly from people who are currently underrepresented within our workforce.
Our commitment to equality and inclusion is reflected through a number of recognised standards and initiatives, including:
- Race Equality Charter Silver Award
- Stonewall Gold LGBTQ+ inclusive employer
- Disability Confident Leader status
- Athena Swan recognition

The University also has a range of staff networks and colleague communities that provide peer support, raise awareness and help shape positive change.
Supporting our colleagues
We want colleagues to be able to develop their careers while maintaining a healthy balance between their working and personal lives.
Depending on the role, benefits may include flexible and hybrid working, generous annual leave, pension arrangements, wellbeing support, family-friendly policies, professional development and access to lifestyle benefits and discounts.
Our specialist learning and development teams provide in-person and online training, helping colleagues build their knowledge, develop new skills and progress within the University.
Making a difference
The University was the first British university to place social responsibility alongside research and teaching as a core goal.
Whether you are supporting students, advancing important research, maintaining our campus, managing essential services or helping the University engage with local communities, your work will contribute to something meaningful.
Our values of knowledge, wisdom and humanity guide how we work, how we make decisions and how we treat one another.
