I work as a student ambassador on campus, this is an amazingly varied role which could see you helping year 6 to program Lego robots one day and touring a group of 20 prospective students and their parents the next! I most enjoy the fact I get to meet so many different people - it’s a great buzz! I’ve gained a great deal of experience from my role, including leadership, management and teamwork. Head to campus jobs and get applying.
Campus Jobs is your gateway to a variety of part-time jobs at the University. You could be working a shift in one of our bars or cafes one week, and then undertaking a research project in your department the next.
With one-off opportunities and regular shift work, Campus Jobs provides a flexible service for Reading students.
I’m Emily and I’m a Student Ambassador and Reading Scholars Mentor. Being a Student Ambassador means that I help out my department, Modern Languages, on open days, either asking any questions from students or parents, and giving departmental tours. As a student mentor, I mentor and support year 12 students, through online mentoring and on mentor days when they visit the campus, encouraging them to continue from A Levels into higher education. I love the role because it’s flexible and fits around my studies, and it’s great to promote the department to potential students.
As well as the opportunity to earn some money, Campus Jobs can provide essential work experience in a trusted environment. You’ll meet new people, make valuable contacts and develop your employability skills. This will look great on your CV, giving you a distinct advantage when applying for a placement or graduate job.
