Work in beautiful campus environments in Chichester and Bognor Regis
What our staff have to say
It’s a beautiful campus in a great location, where the small number of students per class helps add to the community feel.
I’ve got a flexible working pattern with multiple opportunities to develop my career and to undertake specialised training.
Such a great community of staff and students where everyone is welcomed and treated equitably.
There’s a such a community feel here, with a good pension scheme, flexible working opportunities and feels fully inclusive.
Being a small university means there is always someone to talk with.
Line managers are very supportive and really care about your problems.
It’s easy to communicate across different departments because the community is so tightly-knit.
