"My favourite part about working at VU has been the opportunities I’ve been given to grow. I started in admin support for a small area and I’m now a team leader of a whole centre. I have a really great team and lots of opportunities for teamwork. When you work here you’re well supported to have a great work life balance and staff get some great benefits through our large network of partners. For me, the excitement of going to work every morning is still there even after 10 years!"
Edita, Administrative Team Leader

Caroline, Marketing & External Relations
