UEA is a world leading research institution which is based on a campus that provides top quality academic, social and cultural facilities to over 17,000 students. UEA is one of six organisations that together forms the Norwich Research Park (NRP) Partnership; home to nearly 3,000 scientists working in several world ranked institutions and a world leading centre for environment, health and plant science research.
Now isn’t the time to stand still. New technologies, new competitors, new challenges and new expectations are changing our world forever. We need to act bold, be innovative and transform the way we think to create the university of the future.
Passionate about achieving student, research, staff, and global success, we’re investing in the future to build on our strong foundations. We’ll grow our campus and provide the best facilities and most technologically advanced learning. We’ll deliver unrivalled support and a high quality learning experience to provide everyone with the skills they need for the future. We’ll further develop our partnerships and networks regionally and globally. We’ll support enterprise and start-ups. We’ll also tackle the world’s big challenges and pursue groundbreaking research with global significance.
We’ve set out a roadmap for how we’ll succeed in the future and produced the first of three five-year plans. We’re going to think bold, do things differently and lead the way by building on our greatest strength – our talented staff.
Shaped by staff, our UEA values of collaboration, empowerment, respect and ambition represent a core set of standards for how we behave as an employer, drive excellence in teaching, learning and research and collaborate as an anchor institution in our local community. From tackling global challenges, striving for student and staff success, and creating a vibrant inclusive environment, our values are what unite us. The ITCS team embed these in our ways of working as we grow a strong team that plays to its strengths but also plays for each other.
We have a great history of growing our talent internally and love to recruit people who have a passion to grow and learn to develop their career. We offer flexibility both in working location and working patterns and would encourage anyone to discuss their specific requirements with us.
UEA recognises the benefits of flexible working and are looking to offer more flexibility to staff through hybrid and remote working models. Where roles can be carried out remotely and align with individual and University needs, it is the expectation that this working arrangement will continue longer term. Further details and individual preferences will be discussed at interview.
Whilst working at UEA staff receive competitive rates of pay, access to a contributory pension scheme, generous holiday entitlement of up to 30 days in addition to bank holidays and 6 customary days and opportunities for development. Staff also have access to an Employee Assistance Programme, care leave policies to help balance work and caregiving commitments and an onsite Ofsted registered nursery, medical centre, multi faith centre, chemist, supermarket, post office, library, cafés and bars.
UEA has long been a University that prides itself on being "The Home of the Wonderful".
To continue supporting this vision, we are now embarking on an ambitious programme of Digital Transformation that will require a comprehensive technology road-map to fulfil the University's objectives, and it is for this reason that we are now seeking to recruit a number of new roles within the University's IT & Computing Service (ITCS). ITCS is accountable for the delivery of a wide range of technology services, from delivering and maintaining the software platforms that support our core business functions, to the weird and wonderful requests that come with world-leading and diverse research projects.
Our Digital Transformation programme is aimed at developing a bold, future-facing approach to hybrid Teaching and Learning that combines face-to-face and remote learning, as well as re-designing our campus as a place that can support both remote and campus-based working; we are refreshing our technology estate with new, modern, cloud-based platforms and seeking ways to innovate and harness the power of greater data and analytics to improve our service and our effectiveness.
