General vacancies
We have vacancies available for a wide range of roles within the University including support, executive positions, and research jobs among many other types of roles. For information on how to apply, please see how do I apply for a general vacancy at the University.
We promote diversity in employment and welcome applications from all sections of the community. Our current employment opportunities are listed below:
The Open University remains open, operating and recruiting. We're working hard to ensure that our vacancies pages are up to date.
It's possible there could be some disruption to the application and recruitment processes during this time but our team is still working hard to bring you the best possible service and we are available should you require any assistance.
Following the move to many more people working from home, organisations and internet service providers have increased their on-line security and we recommend that candidates check your ‘junk’ or ‘spam’ folder as emails sent from our application system may be diverted to these.
The University is carefully monitoring guidance issued by the UK Government regarding COVID-19 and the latest information for our students, can be found here: https://help.open.ac.uk/coronavirus-covid19
Many activities are however now being only conducted remotely, including interviews. We use TEAMS for remote interviews and will provide guidance for candidates not familiar with using TEAMS. We will also seek alternatives where TEAMS isn’t possible.
