Sheffield Hallam is expanding its Digital Technology Team!

1st February 2023

Technology is critical to our future vision

not just in ensuring high quality provision to support and enable the community of over 32,000 students and 4,500 staff which make up the university, but also in supporting and shaping future learning and working spaces, as well as new and varied modes of delivery.

Sheffield Hallam has an ambitious strategy which has set out our vision to transform lives by becoming the world’s leading applied university. We want to become a beacon for what an enterprising university can do with, and for, its students, its community, and its partners by rising to real world challenges; supported by world leading technology. 

In delivering its vision the University expects essential underpinning technology – used in classrooms and other teaching facilities, research and in the back office – to be uninterrupted and of the highest calibre. 

It’s the responsibility of Digital Technology Services (DTS), to ensure this happens. DTS is a demanding and hugely rewarding environment that contributes significantly to the university and its mission. 

Simon Briggs
Director of Digital Technology Services

Over the last few years, and particularly over the pandemic period, DTS have successfully delivered a significant amount of digital change and improvement to IT Services. The University has recognised that to maintain this change and continue on a path to transform the University, in which IT services are critical, it needs to invest in DTS. This has given us the opportunity to create new roles within our incredibly diverse IT Department managing hundreds of systems, with plenty of scope to develop employee’s skills and work across multiple systems and services.

Now is a particularly exciting time to join the team, as we embrace the Cloud and the opportunities that presents, deliver new ways for students to engage in learning, and change our services to allow better flexibility of working for our staff. 

Our roles will allow you to think innovatively, learn something new, and work with other likeminded and motivated individuals. This is what makes Digital Technology Services an incredibly rewarding place to work.

Head of Digital Delivery
