We are excited to be recruiting for a number of Student Ambassadors to engage with prospective applicants about the Newcastle University student experience. To do this you will have opportunities to support on a range of recruitment and aspiration-raising events and activities. You should be a current Newcastle University undergraduate or postgraduate student.

The work is extremely flexible – you can sign up to as much or as little as you like. Shifts could include but not exclusively:

• working at the University Open Days and Offer Holder Experience Days
• leading campus and accommodation tours
• taking part in on-campus events for local school/college students/prospective postgraduate students
• developing recruitment-related publicity and marketing information e.g. blogging, social media posts etc.
• developing resources for recruitment activities, including subject-specific material
• representing the University at a range of off-campus higher education recruitment events
• delivering presentations/activities in local schools/colleges/postgraduate recruitment events
• supporting event preparation and office work

Occasionally work offered may be at weekends, in the evenings or involve overnight stays.

Expenses and accommodation costs for this work are covered by the University.

If you have great interpersonal skills, enjoy sharing your university experience with other people, are organised and able to work on your own initiative, we’d love to hear from you.

Student Ambassadors will be required to receive an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosures and Barring Service if successful at interview (the cost of your application will be met by the University).

If your application is successful, we will invite you to attend a compulsory training session. If you are unable to attend the training session, your application may not be taken further.

For further information, or to make informal enquiries, please contact studentambassadors@ncl.ac.uk.

Applications are now closed for 2023. 

Successful candidates will be required to attend a compulsory training session (for which they will be paid). Successful candidates are legally required to provide identification for Right to Work and Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks before they attend the compulsory training session. Details on documents to be provided for a DBS check can be found here. Information on completing your Right to Work check will be shared with you if successful at interview.
