About the role

We want to provide the best possible service to applicants and agents irrespective of location, and to enhance turnaround times. This role will lead efforts to deliver this commitment. It presents an exciting opportunity to lead our experienced Admissions team, and ensure our systems, processes and people are focussed on delivering our global student recruitment strategy.

Taking a data driven approach, the successful candidate will review our current structure, systems and processes, and shape a revised Admissions strategy to underpin our recruitment objectives.

Following the roll out of our new Ellucian CRM Recruit Admissions system, a key focus of the role will be continuing to optimise functionality of the new system. Making sure our processing is optimised to maximise UK and overseas recruitment and providing a rapid response to questions and enquiries from prospective students.

In recent years, we have grown our international footprint across the world as we have developed a broad range of articulation and progression partnerships. We also have a strong partnership with Study Group (albeit they are responsible for their own admissions).

The role will also take responsibility for reviewing our approach to compliance and exploring additional means to further enhance both the student experience and our institutional compliance objectives including delivery of credibility checks.

About you

We’re looking for a dynamic, forward-thinking individual, who combines strong communication and people skills with a sound understanding of business process and data to provide supportive leadership to our high performing Admissions team.  

An experienced Admissions leader, you will have at least three years experience  of leading a successful Admissions function including both undergraduate and postgraduate teams and have an excellent understanding of systems, business processes and enhancement of UKVI compliance.

You will be someone who can draw on the skill set of our experienced Admissions team, provide a clear road map for the next three years and create development opportunities for staff to shine.

You will have a good deal of autonomy, but will work closely with the Associate Director International, Associate Director Strategic Marketing and other colleagues to support the Director of Student Recruitment, Admissions and International Development and the Executive Director of CEA in ensuring a clear strategy, structure and operational plans are in place to support the achievement of targets.

You will be expected to provide regular reports to the University Executive Board and committees of Council.
