Role Purpose

  • Seeking an experienced, highly analytical and commercially aware Nigeria Compliance Officer to strengthen the quality and compliance of student recruitment from Nigeria.
  • The role will be responsible for identifying and mitigating visa and recruitment risks across the Nigerian student pipeline, analysing refusal trends, reviewing applicant profiles and supporting the business and partner universities in improving visa outcomes, student quality and conversion.

  • Visa Refusal Analysis and Risk Management
  • Applicant Quality and Pre-CAS Risk Review
  • Agent Compliance & Performance
  • Monitor visa outcomes by agent and identify agents generating disproportionate levels of refusal or high-risk applications.
  • Refusal Notice Management
  • Analyse refusal notices and identify common themes.
  • Maintain an accurate refusal database that can be used for trend analysis and partner reporting.
  • Ensure significant refusal trends are communicated promptly rather than waiting for periodic reporting.
  • Data & Analytics

The role will have a strong analytical component.

The Successful Candidate Will

  • Develop and maintain compliance KPIs and dashboards.

  • Reduction in avoidable visa refusals.
  • Timeliness and completeness of refusal-notice collection.
  • Accuracy and quality of refusal analysis.
  • Quality of pre-CAS risk interventions.
  • Agent compliance and improvement following intervention.
  • Quality and timeliness of management reporting.
  • Completion of compliance training programmes.
  • Partner university satisfaction with the quality of Nigeria compliance reporting.

  • UK Student visa / compliance knowledge: Strong understanding of the UK Student visa route and relevant UKVI requirements.

Higher Education / International Recruitment Experience
