About us
Our mission is to provide transformative, high-quality digital education, so students can learn, wherever they are.
We collaborate with academics and professional services staff across the university, and with our external partners, to design, develop and deliver a wide range of educational programmes.
Our learners study with us from across the world, choosing when and where they study, working around their schedules.
We are a dynamic team with ambitious growth targets in a priority area of development for King’s: online distance education. We proudly foster a supportive culture and community which prioritises both individual and collective wellbeing.
Employee support at King’s includes flexible working arrangements, paid maternity/shared parental leave, menopausal support, an active wellbeing programme, training and development opportunities and much more. All of our staff benefit from a generous pension contribution as well.
As part of King’s hybrid working, all team members can work remotely for part of the week if they wish.
