At Edge Hill University we believe in the life changing opportunities knowledge can create. Since 1885, we've been creating access to knowledge for those who may not have had the opportunity to before.

Today, the effect we have has a far-reaching impact, not just for those who come to study here but for those who work, invest in, and live in our local communities too. So, if you've ever wondered if one person can make a difference, simply speak to our alumni, students, and award-winning staff.

Because for us education isn't about how much you take in. It's about what you take out into the world.

Inspiring minds and changing futures since 1885, Edge Hill University is "A great success story… an institution that improves and impresses year after year" - Times Higher Education.

Hypothetical breakdown of pro-rata salary:
If appointed to this part time (5 hours per week) position at the bottom of the salary band (Grade 3 - point 11) your anticipated gross pay per month would be £187.96. Edge Hill University pay term staff monthly in arrears, in twelve equal instalments.

This example monthly gross pay figure is based on:

Full Time Full Year equivalent salary of £23581.00 ÷ 52 weeks ÷ 36.25 hours (full time equivalent contract hours) = £12.5098 per hour.
£12.5098 per hour x 5 hours per week x 36.06 weeks (i.e., the 32 term time working weeks you work + 4.06 additional pay weeks in lieu of your annual leave and statutory leave) = £2255.52 annual actual gross salary before tax, national insurance, and any other deductions.
£2255.52 ÷ 12 months = £187.96 equal gross pay monthly instalments.
This scenario is based on a start date of 1st September and working a full year. This example salary amount is subject to change depending on candidate start-date within the year, and where in the salary band the candidate is hired.
