Your role will be to ensure that the University of Brighton is fully compliant with UKVI sponsorship duties in regard to international students.

This is a full-time (37.0 hours per week), permanent contract, however we welcome applications from those wishing to job-share.
The University offers an agile working policy which allows you to split your time between working in the office and at home. In this role you would be expected to work in the office on our Moulsecoomb campus for two days a week.
The University is committed to creating and maintaining an inclusive environment for all staff regardless of age, disability, family or caring responsibilities, gender identity, marital status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief (including non-belief), sex and sexual orientation. We embrace equality and diversity in our working, learning, research and teaching environment and are committed to maintaining a supportive and inclusive community. We particularly encourage applicants from Minority Ethnic backgrounds because the University is under-represented by Minority Ethnic staff.
For the vast majority of our roles, we operate an agile working system with time split between working on campus and at the employee's home. It is the University's expectation that home working will take place within the UK.
