Our mission is to build a spirit of giving and volunteering that is owned, lived and breathed across the University, and to support and connect our global community of 250,000 Newcastle graduates.

We connect experienced alumni with recent graduates in need of advice and we connect our students and our academics with people around the world who know and love Newcastle University.

We are looking for people who share our commitment to change the world for the better and who can demonstrate the core values that define the character of our team:
