With a reputation for engaging staff and students in partnership to deliver services, for three years running UK students have voted us best for IT support.
We are committed to delivering and supporting excellent customer focussed services and to do this we need to recruit the best staff, invested in higher education and dedicated to supporting sector leading learning, teaching and research – and that’s why we need you…
We are looking for a Senior Database Systems Administrator, predominantly with skills in Oracle. The University runs a large number of Oracle database-based systems, including administrative systems (staff, student, finance). Applications are developed with a range of tools including Java, Oracle APEX and Oracle Forms.
We have recently moved the core systems to AWS as we begin our multi-year journey to migrate over to Cloud. This is an exciting opportunity to join a small team of 2 in the Corporate Systems Database team, developing and supporting a wide range of databases, application platforms, and systems.
The team fits into the much larger Corporate Systems Product team which supports 70% of the University’s Student facing systems and their Finance & Human Resources systems.
The team also performs a systems administration function, maintaining the lifecycle of key software application packages along with the databases.
We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.
We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
