Job Description

The current opportunity is available for current undergraduate Manchester Met students to apply for; if your application is successful, we will arrange your Jobs4Students registration before you start work. 
 
Overview
The Recruitment and Admissions (R&A) team are currently seeking to recruit proactive, organised, professional, and enthusiastic students currently studying an undergraduate course (in their non-final year) at Manchester Met to become Student Ambassadors. 

Successful applicants will assist in the delivery of the University’s core recruitment and widening participation strategies. They 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 school semesters.  

Student Ambassadors 
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. The role could also include assisting with office duties such as supporting with the Clearing process in the months of July or August.  

Duties 
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. 

Application Process 
The application process consists of an initial written application form. Success at this stage will result in an invite to demonstrate your skills through our assessment centre which will include a series of activities.  

Assessment Centre  
The assessment centre will be conducted on campus, and successful applicants will be invited to select a date and time between 5-8 May once applications have closed.

Person Specification

This role is open to current Manchester Met Undergraduate students who will be enrolled on a course in the 2026/2027 academic year and 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 Higher Education, educational experiences more broadly, and the University.
  • Able to work flexibly to ensure smooth delivery of events.
  • Willing to complete mandatory training before commencing work.
