The College wishes to appoint an Admissions Tutor from 1 October 2006. The successful candidate will be responsible to the College Council for encouraging able applicants to the College for undergraduate and graduate places across all subjects and from the widest range of backgrounds. In collaboration with the Senior Tutor and the Graduate Tutors, the Admissions Tutor will be in charge of the College Admissions Office and will oversee and co-ordinate various activities, including the development of admissions policy, administrative arrangements for assessing, interviewing, and admitting students, and liaison with Directors of Studies, the University, schools, and other external bodies, including the press.
