Additional Information

The College of Corpus Christi and of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the University of Cambridge (commonly
called Corpus Christi College) is the sixth oldest college in the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1352
by the  Guilds of  Corpus Christi  and  the  Blessed Virgin  Mary,  it bears  the  distinction  of being  the  only
College  in  Oxford  or  Cambridge founded by their  citizens.  The  College  has  a 650-year  commitment  to
teaching  and  research,  carried  out  on  the  site  of  its  original  foundation  in  the  heart  of  mediaeval
Cambridge.

Corpus  Christi  is  a  leading  academic  institution,  with  an  excellent  record  of  education,  learning  and
research.  With  310  undergraduate  and  190  postgraduate  students,  it  is  one  of  the  smaller  of  the
Cambridge colleges and prides itself on the friendly nature of its close-knit community. At the same time,
its  members  –  both  Fellows  and  students  –  play  an  active  part  in  the  wider  University’s  intellectual,
academic, cultural and sporting life.

The College has around 60 Fellows and 120 staff. It is unusual in having two principal sites: the Old House,
its ancient buildings and related hostels in the city centre, and fifteen minutes away, Leckhampton, where
most of the postgraduate community is housed, and where the College’s playing fields and sports facilities
are situated.  The College’s Parker Library, named after a former Master, Archbishop Matthew Parker,
houses a unique collection of historical manuscripts of international significance. It is one of the most
significant surviving Renaissance libraries in Europe.

The Deputy Café/Bar Manager plays a key role within the College, maintaining a small team of workers
across two bars at both College sites and dealing directly with all members of the College community.
The successful applicant will be a visible and valued representative of the college, being an approachable,
engaging presence for students, staff, and Fellows alike.
