We know how important it is to receive feedback, especially when it comes to working with young people. We also know that young people don’t always feel comfortable sharing their honest thoughts and opinions with adults – which is why our ambassadors are such an important part of our team.
As an ambassador, you’ll be the voice for our young customers. Through speaking to them, joining focus groups, helping to develop resources, creating social media content and more, you’ll be able to provide honest insights and opinions on our service, what we’ve done well and, most importantly, what we can do to be better.

- Aged 16-19
- Able to commit between 2-4 hours per month

What you’ll get in return:
- The opportunity to develop new skills in self-confidence, communication and social media
- Pride at having benefitted young people and your local community
- Support from a professional mentor, who will help you plan your goals for the future
- The chance to meet new people and have some fun
- Something fantastic to put on your CV!

“There are a lot of assumptions about what young people want, what works for them and what doesn’t, but by being an ambassador you’ll be there ensure the views and needs of young people are served. Being an ambassador makes a positive difference for your community and for your peers, but it also makes a difference for you.
