The Admissions Officer is responsible for processing and assessing applications for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes within a designated academic portfolio, contributing to the delivery of a high-quality, compliant and applicant-focused admissions service within the Home Admissions function of the Student Experience Group Directorate.

a generous holiday entitlement (30 days per annum, plus bank holidays & closure days)

We are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments that would enable you to perform to the best of your abilities in your role.

We ensure that our interview/shortlisting Chairs complete the relevant e-learning and/or inclusive recruitment training.

If you’re considering using AI to support your application, we encourage you to question the value it adds. The use of AI tools sometimes erodes authenticity and prevents us from being able to assess the real you. We strongly recommend you prepare your application using your own skills and knowledge and that AI is only used for the purpose of review.

Closing Date: 17 August 2026

Interview Date: 24 August 2026

If you are invited to interview for this role, you will need to provide evidence of your eligibility to work in the UK and if on a visa, current visa and status.
