This is an exciting chance to be part of a progressive and cutting-edge University in a beautiful location, where you can really make a difference. The University of Plymouth is a great place to work, with excellent opportunities for career development and progression for staff, as well as striving to put students at the heart of everything we do. Our Student Services Department has been reshaped over the past three years which has seen the introduction of the Student Conduct Office and our Student Hub.
