We have friendly, open plan, modern offices in Bristol, Harwell (Oxford), London and Manchester. Dependent on your role, we don’t necessarily require you to work 9–5, five days a week, from a specific office or face-to-face. Jisc is a community and a very social place to work.

We believe in smarter, flexible working. You can look forward to a rewarding job with opportunities to develop and make a real difference to the education and research sectors.

We are proud to be part of the Tech Talent Charter and a living wage employer.

Our technology allows us to work with flexibility whilst maintaining connection with each other. We use tools such as Teams, Slack, and Yammer - all part of developing smarter ways of working that are output-focused, not location-focused.

It is important to us that our people have a say in the organisation. We run a number of initiatives to support this, such as our employee voice forum and meet and greets with our leadership team.

We also hold an annual staff conference, and our ideas programme is a chance to contribute towards innovation, productivity and business improvement.

Our recognition scheme - including a quarterly awards event - is our way of giving clear and open thanks to our colleagues for doing a great job.

If you are passionate about sustainability, then we have champions in each of our business areas. Our champions gather ideas and feedback from across the organisation to help guide our strategy and make a positive impact in our communities.

We're open to a variety of flexible, agile working arrangements. This could include:

• Job sharing
• Part-time working
• Working from home
• Working from another office
• Flexible hours

• 28 days annual leave plus three closure days at Christmas and eight bank holidays
• Enhanced parental leave including maternity, shared parental, adoption and paternity leave
• Sabbaticals/career breaks, study leave, three volunteer days, as well as emergency leave and enhanced sick leave

• Our dedicated online learning platform offers a comprehensive range of learning opportunities in a wide range of subjects plus access to a world-leading library of professional development content
• We support external training - such as a professional accreditation
• We'll pay for any professional memberships that are required for your role
• You'll have a personal development plan where you and your manager agree your objectives and development goals, including the support you need to give your best

We recognise that not everyone wants to move into a management role to progress their careers, so we’re developing technical career paths which are development routes for our technical roles.

The wellbeing of our people is important to us. Fostering a diverse and inclusive learning and working environment is crucial to innovation, productivity and wellbeing.
