We’re so proud of our northern home. At the heart of beautiful Lancashire, and with a thousand years of history behind it, Preston gives you the best of both worlds. While it’s the ideal location to live, work and raise a family, it’s also within easy reach of an abundance of beautiful countryside and coastlines.

Plus, it was recently rated by MoneySupermarket the best place in the UK to raise a family*.

In addition, we offer flexible working and a host of benefits, including our on-campus Pre-School Centre which rated excellent. It is a purpose-built single storey building with an enclosed outside garden area. There are separate rooms where children carry out a diverse range of activities in a safe, secure and caring environment.

We support hybrid and flexible working and encourage our colleagues to prioritise a healthy work-life balance.

In addition, we offer 35 days annual leave, plus 8 Bank Holidays, and 4 additional days which are taken over the Christmas period (prorate). We also offer paid leave for those wishing to engage in volunteering opportunities in the community.
