CAS Compliance Officer

The Department

The UKVI Compliance department plays a crucial role within UWL to ensure the UKVI student sponsor license is safeguarding, maintained and fully compliant with student visa sponsorship duties. The team communicate with everyone across the University and provide guidance and advice to both staff and students.

The team’s work is essential for maintaining the integrity of the UKVI system and ensuring that international students can study without any legal issues and adhere to UK immigration laws.

With the expansion of the UKVI Compliance department, we have realigned vital roles and created a new CAS team where we are seeking 3 new UKVI CAS Officers.

The Role

The postholder will be required to have an excellent understanding of the UKVI student visa regulations, sponsor duties and ensure the university remains compliant under the UKVI sponsor licence duties.

The key aspect of the role is to work collaboratively with a variety of departments and offer holders to ensure UKVI procedures and processes are adhered to.

The post holder is required to check student documentation, undertake credibility checks and assist with queries relating with UKVI requirements. 

Liaising with applicants/students on regular basis is crucial to keep them fully abreast of their application.

It is essential that accurate student records are kept up to date and maintained at all times.

This appointment requires a flexible approach to working hours as contact made overseas is outside the core business hours and on occasions evening cover is required. The role is fully on-site, primarily based at our St. Mary’s Road campus but cover is required, on occasions, at our other locations/sites. 

The Person

We are seeking an enthusiastic, resilient and customer focused person with proven and extensive work experience in using UKVI SMS as a level 1 user, but in particular, the processing and issuing of CAS is essential.

You should be methodical, IT literate, with excellent attention to detail and able to balance conflicting workloads with the ability to prioritise your workload effectively.

Another key aspect is the ability to communicate with international students where English is not a first spoken language.

Previous work experience in the Higher Education sector is essential.
