BRAND AMBASSADOR FAQS
What is a student brand ambassador?
As a brand ambassador, you'll represent top employers at your school, college, or university. You'll share their career opportunities on social media and help organise events that connect other students with opportunities they'll love.
Do brand ambassadors get paid?
Yes! At Higherin Academy, you’ll get paid £14+ per hour. One of the highest brand ambassador salaries in the UK and well above minimum wage.
Some roles pay up to £16 per hour, plus you'll earn bonuses for hitting targets. Hit your goal of 20 event sign-ups and earn a £10 bonus. That's 50p every time someone signs up!
This makes brand ambassador work one of the best part-time jobs you can have whilst studying.
How do I become a brand ambassador?
What skills do I need to become a brand ambassador?
You just need to be a current student at university, school, or college. Experience with social media and communication helps, but don't worry if you're new to this! You'll get full training and support throughout your journey.
How do I get paid as a brand ambassador?
Once you start working, submit your timesheets every month through our online portal. Your pay gets transferred straight into your UK bank account, it's that simple!
I applied for a role but haven’t heard back yet. Does that mean I’m unsuccessful?
Not at all! We respond to everyone within two weeks, but it might take slightly longer during busy periods. You can always check our hiring timeline to see our busiest times.
What type of activities will I be doing as part of the brand ambassador role?
Each brand ambassador role is different, but some activities might include:
Social media content (sharing career opportunities, events and competitions with other students)
Lead generation (this is a marketing phrase that just means encouraging people to sign up to learn more about your employer)
Organising events (in-person and online events, either individually or as part of a team).
You'll get fully-paid training from our team, so you'll start your role feeling confident and ready to succeed.
Can I work on more than one campaign?
For university students:
If you apply to become a brand ambassador for multiple employers, you can work on up to three campaigns at the same time.
If you apply to become a brand ambassador for a single employer, you will exclusively represent one employer until your campaign ends.
After your campaign finishes, you can apply for any other available brand ambassador roles at your university. Explore our different brand ambassador roles here.
For school or college students:
If you apply to become an Academy Ambassador, you'll gain experience working across different employers throughout the year.
