Student Ambassadors in the Faculty of Arts1 represent their Department/School at a
variety of events and share their experience of studying at Nottingham. Such events
include (but are not limited to):
 Open days

The University has a standard Student Ambassador rate of pay. Please find current rates

year.
3. Travelling expenses
Travel expenses are paid in exceptional circumstances only, after approval from the
Dean of the Faculty, granted in advance of the casual engagement. Approval process:
the member of staff wishing to pay the travel expenses should email a brief rationale to
the Dean. No action should be taken until a response is received.
4. Engagement
A Student Ambassador’s casual engagement will be administered through Unitemps,
located within the Career and Employability Service at the University. Each casual worker
will be required to register through Unitemps in order for them to administer the casual
engagement.
Once the School has informed the Student Ambassador of the details of the work, the
individual is required to visit Unitemps on B Floor, Portland Building, University Park,
with proof that s/he is eligible to work in the UK. S/he will also need to provide bank
details in order for Unitemps to set up a payroll number. Unitemps will then send the
casual worker a letter of engagement once the registration process is complete.

Canadian Studies; Culture, Film and Media; French; German; Language Centre; Russian
