Planning is underway for September 2023 and we want you to make sure that students get the best experience and information for the year ahead.
That's where the Welcome Team volunteers come in! We're recruiting for a team of approachable, informative, bubbly and welcoming current students to help us to create a Welcome Week experience that new students will love.
We'll be taking interest to be part of the team via the form below and contacting you later this year to confirm plans. Being involved is some of the most fun & worthwhile volunteering you'll find at University!
As a member of the Welcome team, we'll help with the relevant info you need and work with you to confirm your availability for what you can help with. From ticket distribution to events, handing out freebies and tours, there are lots of different activities to get involved with. What's unique about these roles is that you're able to speak to students about your own student experience and give them the best possible info. You will need to be available for the start of the academic year and Welcome Week so we can ensure we can provide training and allocate the team across activities.
We can’t and don’t expect people to commit to the level of help we want without a little something in return! First and foremost, this is a great way to meet not only new students, but make new friends amongst your fellow Welcome Team members! We also make sure that when people are on for daytime shifts, we provide refreshments and food. In addition we also provide access to Union events during Welcome Week, tshirts to wear on shift and keep as well as references and CV building opportunities.
Applications for Welcome Team 2023 are now open and you can apply by completing this Google form.
