Job Description

Are you an expert in the “mechanics” of Higher Education? The University of Roehampton is looking for a Senior Registry Officer who understands that behind every successful student is a perfectly managed record. In this role, you will be the guardian of the student lifecycle, ensuring that the enrolment process is not just a checkbox, but a welcoming and efficient gateway to the university experience.
