Job Title: Careers Ambassador (CA) 

Department: King?s Careers & Employability (KC&E) 

Contract Type: Part-time, Flexible | Paid 

Open to: King's students from second year onwards (UG & PG) 

Location: Across King's campuses, remote working may be required for some tasks 

About the Role 

King's Careers & Employability is recruiting a cohort of approximately 15 Careers Ambassadors (CAs) to play a central role in championing careers support across the King's community. This is a paid, part-time role with flexible hours on an ad hoc basis, designed to fit around your academic commitments. It offers a valuable opportunity to develop a range of transferable skills in a dynamic and student-focused environment. 

As a Careers Ambassador, you will contribute across multiple KC&E workstreams including event support, marketing and communications, student engagement, feedback collection, and service development. You may also be responsible for responding to student queries via our central inbox and acting as a key representative of the service across campus spaces and student groups. 

This is a varied and multifaceted role, and we welcome applications from students with a broad interest in careers and employability. While all ambassadors will gain experience across different areas, we anticipate selecting two ambassadors to take on a more focused role within Student Enquiries. These students will receive additional training and work more closely with the Student Careers Engagement team to deliver this key front-line function. 

Key Responsibilities 

Student Representation & Engagement 

Act as a visible and approachable representative of KC&E, engaging with peers across campus spaces and events (e.g. libraries, SU spaces, career lounges). 

Promote careers support to students through in-person outreach and peer-to-peer conversations. 

Provide feedback on KC&E services and initiatives, highlighting student needs and perspectives, especially those from underrepresented groups. 

Marketing & Communications 

Develop and deliver engaging content to promote KC&E services and events, including short-form video (e.g. Reels or TikToks) that reflects the authentic student voice. 

Suggest creative ideas for campaigns and contribute to planning and scheduling content across KC&E digital platforms, ensuring alignment with brand and messaging. 

Capture media on campus and at events, including filming short interviews with other students or behind-the-scenes content, such as short vlogs, for use across our channels. 

Event Support 

Support the delivery of career fairs and events, including setup, meet and greet, registration, and attendee engagement. 

Assist with the coordination of pop-up events and other initiatives aimed at increasing student engagement. 

Insight & Feedback 

Gather and summarise student feedback to inform KC&E?s strategy and service delivery. 

Attend and facilitate focus groups to represent diverse student views and contribute to service improvement. 

Participate in user testing or feedback sessions to help shape new KC&E initiatives and tools. 

Student Enquiries 

Act as a first point of contact for student and visitor queries about careers support. 

Monitor and respond to emails in the KC&E Careers Inbox, providing accurate information or referring to relevant teams as needed. 

Assist students navigating our Career Management System (e.g., booking appointments, accessing resources, troubleshooting issues). 

Support with basic administrative tasks related to student records, appointment management, or careers communications. 

Note: Two Careers Ambassadors will be selected specifically to support the Student Enquiries function. These ambassadors will: 

Receive dedicated training 

Be expected to work a minimum of 7 hours per week on a regular schedule during term time 

Whilst all ambassadors will receive general training and exposure to the enquiries process, only those in the enquiries-specific roles will be assigned regular front-line responsibilities. All other ambassadors will support a variety of KC&E activities on an ad hoc basis, with flexible hours arranged according to project and event needs
