About the Role
We’re not trying to fit in with the higher education status quo. We’re challenging it. We’re doing things differently - because our students, our staff, and our world need us to.
So, this is an exciting moment to join us. We’re boldly reimagining what a university can be: a place rooted in social mobility, a community where difference is celebrated, and an institution that empowers people to become more than they thought possible.
As part of the Student Experience Group Directorate, the Home Admissions Manager leads and manages the operational delivery of the University's Home Admissions Service, ensuring an efficient, compliant and applicant-focused admissions process for UK undergraduate and postgraduate applicants.
Reporting to the Head of Admissions, the role provides operational leadership across the admissions lifecycle, managing the Home Admissions Team and delivering Confirmation, Clearing and Enrolment.
The post-holder ensures regulatory compliance, drives continuous improvement, oversees complex admissions cases and works collaboratively with Academic Colleges, Professional Services and the Admissions Systems & Data Lead to enhance systems, processes and the applicant experience, supporting the University's strategic recruitment and student experience objectives.
