• Monitor changes from UKVI, UK ENIC, and testing bodies to ensure ongoing compliance
• Apply English for Academic Purposes (EAP) knowledge to assess qualifications and conduct accurate mapping
• Contribute to documentation for audits and support international student progression and retention strategies

What we’re looking for:

• Experience in international admissions
• Strong knowledge of UKVI English language requirements and Secure English Language Tests (SELTs)
• Familiarity with IELTS, TOEFL, PTE and global equivalents
• Essential: knowledge and practical experience of EAP to support qualification mapping and entry decisions
• Excellent attention to detail and strong Excel/database skills
• Confident working with admissions systems and managing qualification equivalencies
• Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate across departments
