Student Ambassador – GP Registration Support

LondonOn-site

AI Summary

A part-time Student Ambassador supports Penrose Health at university events across South East London, welcoming students, explaining GP registration using a provided script, completing forms, and signposting clinical questions to NHS staff.

About this role

Penrose Health attends university student fairs across London to help students register with a GP easily and confidently.

We are creating a small pool of Student Ambassadors who we can invite to support us at these events throughout the year, rather than recruiting each time from scratch.

This is a casual, non-clinical role focused on being friendly, approachable, and helpful.

You will be part of an on-site team supporting students to complete GP registrations, with NHS staff present at all times to handle any clinical questions.

Key Responsibilities

At each event, you will be one of the first faces students see when they approach our stand.

Your role will be to:

Welcome students in a friendly, confident way
Explain the GP registration process using a clear, provided script
Help students complete registration forms accurately
Reassure students and answer basic process questions
Clearly signpost any medical or clinical queries to NHS staff on site
Represent Penrose Health professionally at all times
Helping setting up / taking down the stall

The focus is on support and clarity, not selling or persuading.

What this role does not involve

To be clear, this role does not include:

Giving medical advice
Discussing symptoms or treatment
Making clinical decisions
Applying pressure or sales techniques

You will always have clear boundaries and on-site support.

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

This role is ideal if you are:

Friendly and comfortable talking to new people
Confident approaching students in a busy environment
Clear and calm when explaining simple processes
Reliable and punctual
Happy following a loose script and guidance
