About the role

The Leicester Medical School is seeking an organised and customer-focused Admissions Assistant to support the delivery of an efficient, accurate and welcoming admissions service for its MB ChB courses. You will assess applications against agreed entry criteria, make offers where appropriate and develop specialist knowledge of medical admissions. You will also respond to enquiries from prospective students, applicants, parents, colleagues and external organisations, helping people make informed choices through clear, consistent and timely communication.

Working across all stages of the admissions cycle, you will check and process UCAS applications, allocate results information, maintain accurate records and produce application statistics when required. You will also provide administrative support for DBS checks and help deliver applicant interviews, Open Days and other recruitment activities, some of which will involve weekend working. The role includes close collaboration with colleagues across the University, the NHS and external agencies, while managing your own workload and responding flexibly to changing priorities.

You will be educated to A Level or an equivalent standard and have clerical experience gained in a busy working environment, preferably within higher education. Previous experience in a customer-facing role and of supporting or organising events is essential. You will communicate confidently in writing, by telephone and in person, handle confidential matters sensitively and work effectively with minimal supervision.

Accuracy, sound organisation and effective time management will be central to your success, together with the ability to manage a varied workload under pressure. You will be keen to develop expert knowledge of admissions processes, qualifications and specialist application systems. Experience of higher education admissions, awareness of data protection requirements, strong IT skills and an adaptable approach to process improvement would be advantageous.
