The role involves managing a team of staff processing applications for entry to the UK, ensuring that regulations are applied correctly and fairly and that only those who qualify are able to enter the UK, enhancing visa decision making through the provision of evidence based processes, and ensuring that entry clearance mechanisms remain robust in the face of continuing threats of abuse.
The successful candidate will be expected to lead, supervise and represent the UKBA team, providing day to day operational management to ensure that a modern, efficient and courteous service is delivered within agreed standards.

Balanced against this is the need to provide line management support to staff in a pressurised role but also dealing firmly with performance issues should they arise.
