Admissions Officer
Own an applicant's experience from first enquiry to enrolment, across the UTME, direct entry and postgraduate routes.
The post.
Admissions is a ten-person university's front door. Whoever holds this post is, for most applicants, the only person they deal with before they arrive, which makes the quality of that correspondence a recruitment tool rather than an administrative task.
You would work across all three entry routes: UTME through JAMB, direct entry and transfer above 100 level, and postgraduate. Each carries a different documentary burden and a different clock.
What you would do
Process applications end to end: acknowledge, check documents, chase what is missing, and record decisions.
Verify JAMB result slips, O'Level results and transcripts, and escalate anything irregular.
Answer applicant and parent enquiries by email and phone, inside the published response window.
Keep the applicant record accurate enough that reporting off it can be trusted.
Support open days, campus visits and the enrolment period at the start of each session.
What we need from you
A bachelor's degree, and at least two years in admissions, registry or a comparable case-handling role.
A working knowledge of the Nigerian admissions system: JAMB, UTME, direct entry and NUC requirements.
Written English good enough that your correspondence represents the university well.
Comfort with a student record system, and with spreadsheets other people rely on.
The right to work in Nigeria.
What would also help
Experience inside a Nigerian university's registry.
Exposure to postgraduate or international admissions.
What to attach
A CV.
A covering letter.
Optional: anything that evidences your written work, such as a sample letter or a process you documented.
