Why join us?

As the University celebrates delivery of 10 years of higher and degree apprenticeships, this is a rare opportunity to shape the future of apprenticeship quality at a university with strong industry links, a clear regional mission and a commitment to real-world learning. If you are a strategic, collaborative and values-driven leader, we would love to hear from you.

  • An impressive 32 days leave - plus bank holidays, additional time off at Christmas and the opportunity to buy even more!
  • Our community - there's a real sense of belonging here at Salford. We value diversity, in backgrounds and in experiences. Our difference makes us stronger, and together we share a passion for improving students' lives
  • A rewarding career - where everything you do will make a difference. To our students, our local community, and the world around you

Interviews will take place on Friday 9th October.
