Job Description

The current opportunity is available for current Manchester Met students, to apply you must be based in the UK for the duration of the role.

The Recruitment and Admissions (R&A) team are currently seeking to recruit proactive, organised, professional, and enthusiastic students currently studying an undergraduate course at Manchester Met to become Student Ambassadors. 

Successful applicants will assist in the delivery of the University’s core recruitment and widening participation strategies. Successful candidates will be required to provide information to prospective students including the benefits of higher education and address the key selling points of Manchester Met.  

The Student Ambassador roles are casual, offering flexibility when working around study commitments. Work opportunities are more frequent during university semester times.  

Student Ambassadors are mostly required for front of house duties at university recruitment events, such as Open Days and Visit Days. Most of the recruitment events are on Wednesdays and Saturdays, therefore you will typically need to be available on these days.

Student Ambassadors will primarily: 
  • Represent the University at recruitment events, such as Open Days and Visit Days. 
  • Support the set-up of recruitment events such as preparing and dismantling exhibition areas.
  • Act as a tour guide giving visitors an informative overview of the university campuses and telling them about student life 

If living in a relevant Manchester Met accommodation, you may be asked to show visitors around the accommodation and advise them about the living experience. 
 
If you are already part of the Student Ambassador Scheme, then you do not need to re-apply.

Person Specification

This role is only open to current Manchester Met Students who meet the following requirements - 
  • Excellent verbal communication skills and the ability to engage with staff, prospective students and teachers.
  • Able to be a positive role model to young people.
  • Responsible attitude and the ability to show initiative.
  • Able to contribute and work effectively as part of a team or independently.
  • A commitment to providing excellent customer service and a professional approach, at all times.
  • A positive perspective on HE, educational experiences more broadly, and the University.
