We believe that inspiring our people to do outstanding things at Durham enables Durham people to do outstanding things in the world. Being a part of Durham is about more than just the success of the University, it's also about contributing to the success of the city, county and community.

They will have empathy with Durham's purpose and values and enjoy working in close partnership with senior colleagues in pursuit of our strategic ambitions.
