Why work for us?

"The sheer output of the Press is richer than almost any other academic publisher. We produce materials for the entire lifelong learning experience, from school texts through to the best in academic learning. I’ve met some fascinating people during my career here – authors who are global leaders in their fields ... In terms of places to work, it’s amazing."

Andrew Winnard, Publisher, Humanities and Social Sciences
