Course Ambassadors

We recruit Course Ambassadors once per year in the spring. As we have a limited number of Course Ambassadors that we can employ per course, we'll review the current number employed at that time and, if your course has space available, it'll be included in the recruitment process.

• Early April – Applications will open. If your course is recruiting you’ll receive an email directly to your student account inviting you to apply. You’ll receive a link to apply online which consists of some basic information and a few questions so we can get to know you better! You'll also need to submit a short video giving three reasons why you like your course.
• Mid April – Applications close.
• End April – Shortlisting will complete and successful candidates will be informed that they've been appointed as Course Ambassadors and will await their paperwork from HR.
• May – Online induction session – attendance to this session is compulsory.
• Start date for first job – We aim to have the new intake of Course Ambassadors ready to work for the June/July Open Day.

When applying online, if successfully shortlisted instead of being invited to a group interview you’ll be asked to submit a selfie-style video as part of the application. The content of the video will be made clear in the application stage.

As part of becoming Course Ambassadors for AUB, there'll be several training opportunities available to you. Some will be mandatory and required as part of accepting the role; others will be optional based on your personal interests. Please note, all training will be paid.

1. Induction Session (May) – This is a compulsory online session for one hour hosted by the Digital Marketing and Events team. It'll run through the purpose of the Ambassador programme, expectations, job opportunities and job adverts, how to apply and accept jobs, and timesheets.
2. Health and Safety training (May) – All ambassadors are required to undertake six key health and safety modules. These cover elements such are fire safety, manual handling, GDPR amongst other topics.

HR will email you onboarding documents to complete, sign and return and they'll need to complete a Right to Work in the UK check. Once finalised, you'll receive a contract with further details of your employment.

It’s important you complete the onboarding documents sent to you in a timely manner.

Further information on proving your Right to Work in the UK can be found on the GOV.UK website.

If you are an international Course Ambassador, please be aware that your working hours are restricted by UK Border Agency Rules. As an international student, you are not permitted to work in excess of 20 hours per week during term time.

It is your personal responsibility to ensure you adhere to this regulation and maximum set number of 20 hours whilst employed as a Student Ambassador for AUB.

You must not accept work that takes you over this limit. Therefore, it is important you keep track of your hours worked.

There is no minimum requirement of hours you need to work per week, you can apply for jobs around your timetable and study commitments. The SA scheme is designed to be flexible, to allow you to work more when you’re perhaps quieter or have finished a hand-in and less at those times when you may have lots of projects to complete.
