We're a global institution offering life-changing opportunities to thousands of students across the world, in our partner colleges and in our four main sites at Sunderland, London and Hong Kong. In Sunderland we have our City Campus, which is at the centre of our modern city, and the University’s impressive riverside campus is only a mile away. Estates and Facilities provide a childcare service to staff, students and the local community.

This role will work in partnership with parents and Childcare Officers to provide high-quality childcare and education to children aged from birth.

We offer a large range of benefits including a generous pension scheme, health cash plan, discounts on bus and rail fare as well as car hire.
For those candidates with family, our maternity, paternity, shared parental leave and adoption policies offer enhanced pay.
Our on-site gym within City Space, gives our staff the opportunity to benefit from discounted rates and use of the latest equipment and classes.
Finally, we also have an amazing selection of staff networks which support staff in various areas; LGBTQ+, Family, Women, Disability, BAME, Carers and more. They are chaired and facilitated by staff and are both a supportive mechanism and platform for change within the University. The University recently implemented the Family network proposal for additional paid leave for parents of Neonatal/Premature babies.
