Working as a student Student Ambassador you will be representing the university during lots of different work opportunities.
•
For example, I have been into local schools which are partnered with the university, have worked with students on event days, and have worked as a classroom assistant on an Access to Higher Education course that the university is running.
•
From my experience, I have signed up for the offers that I would like to do, so there hasn't been a certain number of hours that I have been contracted to work, I have just picked up work when I have been available, which is great if you're looking to develop your skills and employability around university, part-time work, while earning a little bit of cash too!
•
Applications open in September and I would definitely recommend applying as soon as possible as I have worked with lots of lovely ambassadors and staff and have really enjoyed learning new skills and meeting new people through this experience.
•
Kent Union Jobshop is ran by Kent Union and offers part-time work for students around their studies.
•
I have worked a few opportunities with Jobshop, however, like the Student Ambassador scheme, I have just picked up hours as I have been available.
•
I have worked opportunities like the Graduation days and at the student club, the Venue.
•
From my knowledge, I'm not aware of when Jobshop do their recruitment, but it might be worth emailing or getting into contact with them to find this information out. I have worked a one-off at the Venue, but was not recruited until later on in the year (not in January), so it is worth asking them when recruitment starts for different work opportunities.
•
You will find some ways to contact Jobshop here, and it would be worth signing up to their newsletter if you're interested to get notified when part-time work is available.
