Health & Social Care Staff
Ambassadors
Do you have what it takes to inspire young minds?
Ambassadorial Duties
Show people how they could be changing lives through their work
Act as a role model to young people by offering them the chance to find out just what a job in Health and Social Care really entails. Most importantly, tell them they could one day be changing lives for the better - right alongside you.
Becoming the Difference
Be the reason someone chooses a Health and Social Care career
Talking honestly and passionately about the brilliant work you do can make a real difference to those considering a career in Health and Social Care. Below is a brief outline of the Ambassador role - hopefully by the time you’ve read it all you’ll be signing up!

Event Notifications
We work closely with appointed Leads from our partner Trusts who support Careers Ambassadors. Once you’ve signed up, we’ll keep your Lead updated on events and other local opportunities for you to participate in.
Attending Events Together
The Hub team are more than happy to accompany new Ambassadors to events where possible, to support and build confidence. We can also bring along some useful information and publications, which will complement the more role-specific activities you take part in.
Representing your Trust
Uphold Trust values in everything you do
If you volunteer to become an Ambassador, you will be representing your organisation when undertaking duties and attending events. Act as you do in your day-to-day role, upholding the values and behavioural policies of the organisation. In the unlikely event that there is an incident which occurs while you are taking on the role of Ambassador, it will be dealt with by the organisation through your line manager.
Voluntary Activity
A role separate to your day job
The Ambassador role is primarily a voluntary one and not seen as part of your substantive role within the organisation. If you would like to take part in an event or activity, please discuss this with your line manager before committing to take part. In some instances you will be able to volunteer during working hours; this is left to the discretion of your line manager. If not, ask for your manager to arrange for you to be off-duty when an event is due to take place.
