Our programs rely heavily on our Student Ambassadors, who come from a variety of courses, entry pathways and backgrounds. Current Flinders students have a strong influence on who we work with, as they can connect with school students, share their experiences and encourage them to pursue university study.
The role requires you to engage with school students, answer questions and talk about your own journey through university. You will be responsible for connecting with prospective students and ensuring they are supported through our programs. This may include guiding groups on campus, assisting with a variety of events, delivering presentations, and running hands-on study area workshops.
Work is offered on a casual, ad hoc basis and varies throughout the year. Student Ambassadors are contracted as casual professional staff and are reimbursed at an hourly rate on a HE03 level.
