Head of School of Earth, Environment and Sustainability The University of Leeds was established in 1904 and is one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK. It is renowned globally for the quality of its education and research across a huge breadth of disciplines. While academic excellence is key, this sits within an ethical framework that is informed by a strong values-set. The University views itself as a true community that consists of more than 38,000 students from 170 different countries, over 9,000 staff of 100 different nationalities and an alumni group comprising of 281,000 individuals in 190 different countries.

We believe in building strong connections by working together. That's why we offer a hybrid working model, where you'll spend a minimum of 50% of your working time per month in the Manchester office. For new team members, an initial period will be full time in the office to help you immerse yourself in our business and build valuable relationships with your colleagues. AJ Bell is committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants and all employees are empowered to bring their whole self to work. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, pregnancy, religion, physical and mental disability, marital status and any other characteristics protected by the Equality Act 2010. All decisions to hire are based on qualifications, merit and business need. If you like the sound of the above, or just want to know more about the company and the role, we'd love to speak to you.
