About the Role
We are seeking an experienced compliance professional to lead the University's approach to employment compliance, with a particular focus on UKVI immigration, right to work and DBS requirements.
You will act as the University's subject matter expert on immigration and compliance, ensuring policies, procedures and governance frameworks remain compliant with Home Office, UKVI, Ofsted and other regulatory requirements. The role involves monitoring legislative changes, managing sponsorship processes, analysing workforce data, identifying and mitigating compliance risks and conducting audits to drive continuous improvement.
Working closely with HR, Registry and wider University stakeholders, you will provide specialist advice on complex cases, deliver training and guidance and support a consistent approach to compliance across the employee lifecycle. You will also lead the University's DBS compliance processes and safer recruitment requirements, helping to ensure robust governance and excellent practice across key compliance areas.
For more details, please take a look at the role profile. We'll still consider applications even if you don't meet every single one of the requirements, so don't be put off if you don't match them perfectly.
