Join the team!

If you use TSR regularly, why not join our team? The TSR volunteer team is a group of proactive people, set out to help others while simultaneously having a rewarding experience. We’re growing our team of TSR members who work together to help students across the UK, supporting them in their studies and their personal lives. In doing so, you will be part of an amazing team, learn new skills, develop as a person, meet new people on exclusive meet-ups while making a real difference to the lives of students.

We’re looking for committed, enthusiastic and mature members who want to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in with making TSR a better site for all students. If you have a particular interest or expertise in a given topic or subject across TSR, a positive outlook and you are a real people person, please get in touch.

Why you should join…
- Take a leading role in facilitating discussion and nurturing a community within a forum around a subject / topic you care about to help set its tone.
- Work together to develop and organise projects on TSR, for example Grow Your Grades, Uni Advice and the Transformation Contest.
- Welcome new people and help them settle into the community.
- Help make TSR a friendlier, more useful place by actively offering advice and help to members.
- Keep the forum tidy by moving misplaced threads and help members by responding to unanswered questions.
- Develop the community further by engaging with users that are drifting away.

Some of the perks…
- Becoming part of a friendly team as a force of positivity and support in people’s lives by helping them through their tough student years.
- Taking part in a fun and life changing experience, where people make friendships, build relationships and develop as people.
- Seeing the impact of your work with data on how your user base grows and how often they engage.
- Building new skills in an advisory and social media role for the UK's No.1 Education website, read by 8 million people per month.
- Coming on exclusive team meets (for 18+ SUPPORT TEAM members - in the past we’ve gone to Centre Parcs, country mansions, luxury hotels and cruises down the Thames!)
- Receiving training on various topics including: university application advice from UCAS; offering peer support from Nightline; and editorial feedback on articles and blogs from our Editor.

To join as a Community Assistant, you must be:
Aged 14 +
Able to demonstrate a good understanding of the community guidelines
Able to commit to making regular contributions on site.
(NB - if you progress to becoming part of the Support Team, you'll then be required to undergo a DBS check)

To apply, post in our Community Assistant Applications forum outlining which forum you would like to help out in and why: http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=361

Start a thread in this forum (link below) explaining why you want to be a CA, and in which section of the site (e.g. Study Help, Chat, Entertainment, Universities...)

Moving threads to the correct section (you will be assigned a section e.g chat/relationships etc and you help keep it tidy, e.g a fitness thread in chat will get moved to the fitness section) and creating content for your section to make people involved with it and boost activity in it
personally i like being a CA as it gives me a sense of purpose and i like helping out the site, i have met some very lovely friends on here and the team is very nice to be part of :smile:
:goodluck: if you apply

You can put it on your CV and be able to help loads of students on the site :biggrin:
You create content for the site, help move threads to the correct forum/sub-forum and just generally be a presence around a forum/section that you choose

You can apply here:
https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=361
And explain why you want to become a CA and in what section :smile:

Hope this helps!

posting regularly is good, but if you're on holiday then if you let someone know i'm sure it would be fine :smile:
I feel glad the TSR helpers are this chill. They aren't reddit mods on a power trip or absentees.

Do you mean a clearing and applications advisor?:smile:

These are given to volunteers who attended UCAS training, usually from the Universities or Study Help sections of the team, and the titles are only showing for a couple of months during results season.:smile:

Does this answer your question?:smile:

The relevant SL for the section will take a look, and potentially consult the ST for that section as to if you'd be a good addition. They'll get back to you after they've made a decision :smile:

Hey Grade A,

Sorry to butt in, I just happened to see your question :tongue:

It's unlkely that you'll hear anything about your application within the day, just because we're all volunteers, including the SLs, and most have uni/work to foucs on too. Personally I'd give it a few days and then follow up if you still haven't heard anything :smile:
