Professional Service staff in higher education institutes play a pivotal role in shaping and implementing their vision, ensuring seamless operations while maximising efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
They are part of crucial functions from HR, Finance, Marketing, Estates and Facilities serving as the backbone of many universities.
However, heightened competition from both the private sector, and other local, regional, and global entities presents a mounting challenge.
So, at jobs.ac.uk we’ve carried out an in-depth study to provide you with a greater insight into the latest recruitment trends.
Our report takes a closer look at the 38,167 professional, managerial and support adverts placed by UK and Irish higher education institutions on our job board during the academic year 2022-2023.
We found:
- 46% of professional and managerial roles offered salaries between £30,000 – £49,999.
- Professional, managerial and support opportunities account for 51% of all opportunities advertised on jobs.ac.uk.
- 47% of professional, managerial and support roles were advertised in London and Southeast England.
- Job adverts for professional, managerial and support roles aren’t live for as long as academic roles, largely due to the high application rate and the quality of talent jobs.ac.uk attracts.
- Compared to academic opportunities, professional and managerial opportunities are more likely to be permanent (70%) and full time (88%).
