Our applicants and prospective students tell us that they really value these in-person events and the very warm welcome they receive from our staff and students. Our Open Days offer them a unique opportunity to further explore their options, get a feel for Bath, and to see our wonderful campus and facilities for themselves.
If you haven't volunteered previously at an in-person Open Day, here is a taste of the roles and responsibilities that you could be assigned to:
- Managing a number of student ambassadors at your assigned location
- Welcoming prospective students and their guests at our ‘Information Points’
- Being a friendly point of contact; talking to them about your experiences and giving them directions
- Managing queues outside the lecture theatres
- Showing visitors around the accommodation blocks that are open for viewing.
Hours will vary slightly dependent on your assigned role which we will know nearer to the event dates. Approximate timings would be from 8am – 4.30pm (staff members working at a Saturday Open Day will receive Time off in Lieu at time and a half).
You are not expected to have comprehensive knowledge of the University and our courses to take part. The Events team will provide written guidance, and you can also find out more at an online briefing meeting before the Open Days.
If you would like to volunteer to work any of the dates above please email Lucy Perry in our Events team with your availability.
Our Open Days are always a huge team effort and your help will be greatly appreciated!
