At Worcester, we pride ourselves on being a supportive, diverse and caring community.
Together, our staff, students, fellows and lecturers bring a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to our shared purpose. As a staff member, you’ll be one of around 200 people working together to provide essential services that help to promote and facilitate our teaching and research.
We’re a haven in the heart of Oxford and stepping into Worcester you’ll be immediately struck by the beauty of our gardens, buildings and grounds. It’s a beautiful place to work, but there are many more benefits to working at Worcester.
