About The Role

Being a part of the Pre-sessional course as a Project Helper means you get the chance to meet a whole new group of students and help them to integrate into University life in the UK! The students take part in an intensive course to ensure that they have a high enough level of English to start their degree course in October. You’ll be helping the Project Coordinator to deliver a social programme throughout the summer which will include sports, evening events and day trips, giving the student’s time to relax and helping them get used to British culture.

In your role you will be expected to:

• Work with the project coordinator to help support the social activities and encourage students to attend.
• Provide a good experience for the Pre-sessional students during their time on the course and work as a team to solve any potential problems that may arise.
• Be able to support the Pre-sessional students integrate into university life in the UK and provide them with information to help resolve any issues they might have.

For most of the project you will be working in a team and so you need to be able to coordinate well with others and work as a group to solve any problems. You will also need to be very self-motivated, enthusiastic, approachable and friendly, have great communication skills and be able to use initiative in different situations. You will also need to have a good understanding of the experience and needs of international students.
