Admissions Tutor - School of Business (Full Time) in London

Join to apply for the Admissions Tutor - School of Business (Full Time) role at Regent College London.

Regent College London is a leading higher education provider with a strong commitment to widening participation and providing flexible, career-focused education to learners from all backgrounds. Our School of Business offers a wide range of industry-relevant programmes designed to prepare students for leadership and operational roles in the business sector.

The Intention to Study Meeting (ISM) is a critical component of our admissions process for applicants who fall outside standard entry routes. These include applicants entering through non-traditional backgrounds, borderline academic cases, or those applying to programmes or levels of study that require additional academic assessment. ISMs provide a vital opportunity for applicants to demonstrate their readiness and commitment to study. The ISMs will evaluate applicants’ academic intentions by exploring their motivation, learning strategies, and long-term academic and career goals in relation to the chosen programme.

Main duties and responsibilities:

• Conduct online ISMs for applicants to programmes within the School of Business.
• Evaluate applicants' academic and/or professional backgrounds, subject knowledge, and preparedness for higher-level study.
• Assess applicants’ awareness of the programme, industry expectations, and relevant career pathways.
• Observe and comment on English language ability, referring to the English assessment team if necessary.
• Use sound academic judgment to determine applicant suitability, and make evidence-based recommendations.
• Complete the required forms thoroughly and promptly following each interview.
• Adhere to ISM procedures: ID verification, camera-on policy, consent to record, professional tone, and structured interview delivery.
• Communicate student support needs identified during the ISM to relevant teams and contribute to applicant follow-up where appropriate.
• Support the Head of Admissions in facilitating training sessions and initiatives aimed at improving the delivery and consistency of ISMs across academic teams.
• Contribute to the management and quality assurance of other ISM Tutors by monitoring interview standards, ensuring consistency in delivery, and supporting a standardised, fair approach across the team.
• Liaise and work closely with the Dean and Programme Leaders to ensure assessment criteria remain current, fair, and aligned with academic standards.
• Confirm that students selected for the programme have the academic potential to complete their studies successfully.
• Provide input on applicant trends and feedback for curriculum development.
• Attend regular meetings with the Dean and programme teams to review ISM outcomes and support admissions planning.
• Participate in training, team briefings, and refresher sessions as required.
• Maintain regular communication with the Admissions and Recruitment.
• During quieter periods, contribute to ongoing development work, including reviewing and updating assessment criteria in collaboration with the Dean and programme leaders.
• Support the creation of reports and reflective summaries to inform practice improvement on applicant trends, ISM outcomes, and process improvements.
• Assist with preparation for programme reviews or internal quality audits.
• Where appropriate, support cross-departmental activities such as assessment or student engagement initiatives, which may include occasional tasks outside the core scope of ISMs.
• Support the College’s commitment to widening participation by ensuring equitable, sensitive, and inclusive assessment of applicants from diverse backgrounds.
• Ensure all ISMs are conducted to a high professional standard, upholding institutional policies and values.
• Provide detailed, subject-specific feedback to support admissions decision-making.
• Record and report academic and support needs to ensure early intervention and retention planning.
