Liverpool Advocates
Current University of Liverpool students are an essential part of the work we do.
Acting as real life role models, our Liverpool Advocates act as mentors, tour guides and general support to activities on campus and in schools. Liverpool Advocates work for the Widening Participation and Outreach team, Shaping Futures team and UK Recruitment team.
The Widening Participation and Outreach team works in partnership with schools and colleges to deliver projects and activities in order to widen access to the University. Our focus is to raise awareness of higher education and to support attainment of students, particularly those students who are traditionally less likely to go to university. We provide a programme of activity designed to inform, inspire and enable those students to excel.
- Leading campus tours
- Providing support on campus visit days during classroom-based sessions
- Delivering talks on campus and in schools
- Tutoring/mentoring young people
- Staffing stands at careers fairs and HE events.
Liverpool Advocates are an essential part of this work, acting as positive role models to demystify university by sharing their own experiences and insights. This is a casual role that is created to fit around your studies. The work is demanding, fun and extremely rewarding!
