The needs of our staff are very important to us, which can be seen through our generous pensions plans, assistance with childcare facilities and also the possibility of flexible working. The support of a Relocation Manager can also be invaluable in helping you and your family settle in.

We find it easy to be proud of the extraordinary people we have at Durham. We offer the inspiration, they achieve the outstanding. We invite you to join them.
