Careers in higher education

Careers in higher education
Teacher lecturer

HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS employ large numbers of people.

As diverse organisations, they offer career opportunities across a broad range of areas, from academics and administrators, to lab technicians, legal officers and catering managers.

It is an environment that welcomes part-time and contract employees, and as student numbers continue to increase, there is a healthy climate for promotions and career advancement opportunities.

The different types of career within universities require different levels of qualifications and specialisms. This means that they are advertised in very different ways, and it is important to focus your search for vacancies in the right places.

Many of these vacancies are advertised via the Internet and through the official website for Higher Education, www.jobs.ac.uk
