Student Ambassador talking to prospective students on campus tour

Working within the Student Recruitment and Widening Participation team, Student Ambassadors are the face of York St John University. We believe the best people to share their experiences of York St John are current students. An Ambassador's role is to showcase all that York St John has to offer to prospective students and visitors to the University. 

Shifts are varied and there are frequent opportunities to work for other departments across the University, such as Marketing, Student Support and Admissions. Work you might complete includes: 

  • Delivering campus tours
  • Supporting large-scale campus events such as Open Days
  • Supporting school visits on campus with learners from year 6 to post 16
  • Residential summer schools
  • Supporting outreach events for underrepresented groups such as mature learners and care experienced pupils
  • Mentoring
  • Administrative work

How to apply

Applications for new Student Ambassadors will open in September 2025 and close on Friday 3 October at 12 noon.

When applications are open, you will need to complete and submit a Student Ambassador application form.

Successful applicants will be required to attend a group interview, undergo mandatory training, and complete relevant background checks.
