International Student Compliance Officer (2 posts)

Liverpool Hope University is seeking to appoint two International Student Compliance Officers – one specialising in Pre-Arrival and one in On-Course international student compliance – to join the Admissions Department and the Student Enrolment and Administration team.

The University continues to welcome international students across all levels, including foundation, undergraduate, postgraduate taught, and postgraduate research programmes.  These roles are integral to supporting and maintaining the University’s UKVI compliance requirements in relation to reporting, record-keeping, and monitoring applicants and enrolled students in line with regulatory guidelines.

Applicants will automatically be considered for both positions.  If you wish to be considered for only one of the roles, please clearly state this in your application.

• Maintaining accurate records in accordance with Appendix D requirements
• Acting as the central point of contact for all pre-arrival international student compliance matters
