How you will work
We are committed to supporting flexible methods of working wherever possible. Campus attendance will vary on a day-to-day basis and across the year but must purposefully align to the needs of our students, staff, and stakeholders. There will be a relatively even balance between time spent on and off campus; in most cases the work location will be determined by the service required or the tasks/activities being undertaken.
