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 event will fall on and celebrate International Student Day 2026 - Tuesday 17th November 2026.

Details of this event will be shared to both prospective students, as well as current students already on social media.

As part of the video recordings, you will be expected to introduce yourself, give top tips to new incoming students, share positive experiences of your time so far at Manchester Met, discuss your favourite things so far about being a student as well as the city, and more.

In addition to the live event, we may also pre-record some Q&A with you to post on our social media a day before the live event. You will receive all the guidance and training necessary as part of the briefing.
