Are you an experienced Visa & Immigration specialist, seeking a new opportunity?
Do you have an interest in working for a leading, inclusive, and progressive University, with a rich heritage and strategic agenda? This could be the role for you!
Based within the People & Organisational Development Directorate, the Talent & Recruitment team is the Centre of Excellence and operational hub for the attraction of talent to The Manchester Metropolitan University. We are a busy team, providing an excellent service to Faculties and Departments across the university, and handling high levels of recruitment activity throughout the academic year.
Role:
As the Officer responsible for UKVI compliance, you will lead on a range of advisory and transactional activities in relation to the employment of international staff. You will provide immigration advice, support, and guidance to faculties and departments across the University, as well as to colleagues in HR. You will help new international staff navigate the visa process and support their onboarding journey, focusing on excellent candidate and hiring manager experience.
You will also take responsibility for existing staff visa and right to work requirements and the disclosure and barring service (DBS) processes.
About you:
As our expert, you will have strong practical knowledge and understanding of current immigration regulations and guidance, as well as experience of providing advice and guidance on the visa application process and staff immigration matters, including training.
