iSolutions provides all aspects of ICT support for University activities. Whether custom tools for teaching, off-the-shelf research applications, desktop builds, networking and infrastructure we do the lot. Currently, the Education Applications team is largely remote, with a base at the primary Highfield campus in Southampton. You can choose to come to the office daily or on our anchor days. Highfield is the heart of the University with Student Union and University cafes and shops. The University has its own bus service; the nearest train station is one mile from Highfield.

At the University of Southampton we are committed to our strategic principles of collegiality, quality, sustainability and global reputation - which our new leadership team is using to implement meaningful change. We value equality and diversity and are a founding signatory of the Athena SWAN Charter. We have held an Athena SWAN Silver Award since 2016, demonstrating our commitment to addressing equality issues in order to maximise the potential of all our people.

Work-life balance is important to us and this is reflected in our generous maternity policy and childcare facilities; employees are also able to participate in the Childcare Voucher Scheme. Our staff may wish to have working patterns that fit in with their caring responsibilities, so we invite requests to undertake this role on a part-time or a flexible working basis. We also welcome applicants who have had career breaks for reasons including maternity, paternity or adoption leave, disability, or illness.

As part of our commitment to your well-being we offer an occupational pension scheme and generous holidays. Staff also have access to our state-of-the-art on-campus sports, arts, and culture facilities, a full programme of events, and access to a number of University employee-discount schemes.
