Academic Integrity Case Officer

Academic Integrity Case Officer

London Academy for Applied Technology (LAAT)

About Us

LAAT delivers programmes leading to awards of Plymouth Marjon University to around 2,000 students across three London campuses. Our student community is diverse and international, and many of our students come from across Europe.

About The Role

Every student deserves a fair, clear and consistent process when an academic integrity concern is raised. You will make sure that happens.

You will manage each case from first referral to a complete, decision ready file. You will also be the main email contact for students throughout their case. You will join a small, supportive team and help shape how the process works in practice.

This role gives you direct experience of UK higher education regulation, which is a strong foundation for a career in quality, compliance or student services.

What You Will Do

Case Handling

• Log every referral with a unique case reference and route it in line with the Student Regulations Framework
• Check case details, including student ID, module, attempt, marks and any previous cases
• Review Turnitin reports as indicators only, never as proof
• Gather evidence and prepare clear case files for decision makers
• Track notice periods, appeal windows, meetings and decision dates, and flag any risk early
• Prepare referral packs for cases that go to Plymouth Marjon University

Student Communication

• Send notifications, reminders, meeting invitations and approved outcome letters from the shared mailbox
• Write in plain, neutral English using approved templates
• Offer clarification in Bulgarian or Slovak where it helps students understand the process
• Respond to student queries within 2 working days
• Refer welfare concerns to the right team
• File every email and invitation against the correct case

Records and Reporting

• Keep the case register accurate in Excel and SharePoint
• Produce regular case reports and short PowerPoint updates
• Handle all data in line with UK GDPR

Please Note

This is an impartial, process focused role. You will not decide whether misconduct has occurred, set penalties, advise students on their defence or predict outcomes. These decisions sit with the named decision makers.
