We will consider applications for employment on a part-time or other flexible working basis, even where a position is advertised as full-time, unless there are operational or other objective reasons why it is not possible to do so.

This is an exciting opportunity for a talented colleague to contribute to Warwick’s Undergraduate Admissions Service.

Working closely alongside 4-6 academic departments, you will make centralised selection decisions on applications and provide expert advice and guidance on admissions matters.

Highly numerate, you will be able to provide support to academic and professional service colleagues by extracting, manipulating and analysing data and providing additional context where required.

The post will also support the development and implementation of policy and procedure to ensure that the University of Warwick operates an admissions process that provides outstanding customer service, meets challenging performance targets, and complies with the increasingly complex external regulatory environment.

You will be a self-motivated candidate with an excellent educational background, including a good Honours degree (or equivalent).

Previous admissions experience is desirable, including knowledge of the UCAS cycle.

You will have excellent communication skills, meticulous attention to detail, and the capacity to master new areas of knowledge quickly.

You will have a flexible approach to work, the ability to progress various projects simultaneously, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

We offer hybrid working arrangements as standard (typically 2 days per week on campus outside of peak times).

The Admissions Service is responsible for providing an efficient and responsive admissions service to applicants for programmes of study at all levels, and to internal departments.

The Service comprises two sub-teams, for undergraduate and postgraduate admissions.

The team works closely with academic colleagues on all issues related to admissions.

Team members also contribute to University-wide events such as open days, enrolment, and graduation ceremonies.

The Admissions Service forms part of the Education Group which is responsible for a critical set of University services supporting the whole student journey. Colleagues in Admissions work closely with other professional service teams, in particular Student Recruitment, Widening Participation and Outreach, Marketing and Communications, Strategic Planning and Educational Policy and Quality.
