Business Ambassador (Wiltshire area) - Volunteer
Our volunteer Business Ambassadors are the heart and soul of our mission. Their expertise and experience are crucial in enhancing the quality of our in-school events, aimed at inspiring our future workforce.
What difference will you make?
The young people that we work with are curious and want to know more about the world around them, and having external people in to talk about the future is extremely beneficial.
They are keen to hear from you about the world of work. Your experience and knowledge will motivate and inspire them to think about their future and give them confidence in their abilities.
Our Business Ambassadors find the events incredibly rewarding. Last year, 100% of our volunteer Business Ambassadors wanted to attend another event!
At EBP, we are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community of volunteers who reflect the wide range of backgrounds and experiences of the young people we support. We welcome volunteers from all walks of life, including people of all ages and cultures, those from global majority backgrounds, those from the LGBTQ+ community, those with disabilities, and neurodiverse individuals. We are keen to understand and meet individual support needs wherever we can. We want every young person to feel seen, heard, and represented, and believe that by bringing together volunteers with varied experiences, we can help prepare them for the future with confidence and support. Your unique perspective will help make a real impact!
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for volunteers who are primarily interested in inspiring young people and sharing experience and knowledge. Your work related experience is invaluable to young people.
Our volunteers are from a wide variety of backgrounds, career sectors and roles. Some are retired and bring a lifetime of work-related skills.
We would love to have you onboard if you are positive, enthusiastic and encouraging.
What will you be doing?
Our Business Ambassadors select events to attend from our regular e-newsletters.
You could support anything from CV writing practice, interview preparation sessions, mock interview workshops, financial awareness sessions (understanding pay slips, managing a budget, funding university), careers sessions (advising young people about career opportunities available in your sector) or by mentoring students and judging enterprise competitions.

The events can range from a 1 hour workshop to a full day in school. Some events take place virtually and can be joined via Microsoft Teams.
Events take place in schools and colleges in and around Berkshire, Swindon, Wiltshire, North Hampshire and Oxfordshire.
Our events are predominantly delivered by our Project Officers with input from volunteers. You will always be supported by the Project Officers who will brief you prior to the event and provide you with all the information that you need.
Each event requires slightly different input from volunteers depending on the nature of the event. Most events require very little preparation, just your skills and experience to share with the young people.
There is no minimum commitment.
