As the UK’s leading student accommodation platform, at UniHomes we’re all about making students’ lives easier and helping them enjoy their time at uni – whether that’s by making the house-hunting process easier, or by saving you time with our all-inclusive bills packages.

But beyond that, we want to help students make the most of life in their uni city or town – and that’s where you come in. We’re looking for current students who can shine a light on what it’s really like to be a student at your uni – and recommend the must-sees, must-dos and most-definitely-do-nots to the next crop of freshers.

You’ll be joining an award-winning programme, recognised at the 2025 UK Search Awards for marketing in the property and real estate industry.

The Content Ambassador Programme won "Best Use of Search - Property & Real Estate" at the 2025 UK Search Awards.

Content Ambassador FAQs

What is a UniHomes Content Ambassador?

Our Content Ambassadors (CAs) are current uni students passionate about both writing and their local community.

As a CA you’ll be using this enthusiasm to write engaging, informative content for the UniHomes blog, helping fellow students make the most of their time at uni.

What exactly does the role involve?

You’ll use insider knowledge of your uni town to create city-specific blog posts about local amenities and events.

The aim is to attract more students to the UniHomes brand, so your writing style should be informal, chatty and capable of drawing a crowd.

What sort of content will I be writing?

You’ll be writing expert content about student life in your city, helping new arrivals and peers alike to make the most of their uni experience.

The topics will vary each month, from the best student places for a night out in your city to where to get the best pre-study coffees… the list is endless! See the posts written by current Content Ambassadors below for examples.

What is UniHomes?

Here at UniHomes we collaborate with partner letting agents all over the country to bring you a collection of the nation’s very best student accommodation in over 50 UK cities and towns – and all with bills already included to make budgeting a breeze! We’re passionate about making student living stress-free and helping students have the best uni possible experience – and that’s where you come in.

How do I apply?

Simply fill in our Google Form via the button below with your personal details and answer our questions about your uni course and motivation for applying.

We get a lot of applications, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t hear back immediately. If we love your application and you’re based in a city that we have a strong presence in, we’ll follow up to ask you to provide a writing sample on a topic of our choosing.

From there, if your writing style is a good match for the programme, we’ll invite you to an onboarding session to meet the team and find out more about how it works. It’s that easy!

What's in it for me?

There are loads of benefits to being a Content Ambassador, including:

Being paid to write about things that interest both you and your community
Developing your writing skills further
Gaining relevant journalism experience
Working with a fast-paced, nationally-recognised brand

We’ve had brilliant feedback from current CAs – see the testimonials below to read what our writers get out of being in the programme.

Will I get paid?

It’s only fair that you get rewarded for your time and effort, so you’ll be paid for each piece that you write. We’ll run through standard amounts during onboarding.

How many hours am I expected to work as a Content Ambassador?

Each task we set you shouldn’t take more than 2 hours to write – we know you’re super busy with uni so we don’t want to take too much of your time.

While we may offer additional tasks some months, these are always optional. And if you need to skip a month sometimes, that’s OK – just let us know in plenty of time.

Who can be a UniHomes Content Ambassador?

Any student at a UK uni who’s passionate about writing informative pieces for like-minded audiences can be a Content Ambassador.

Ideally, you’ll already have experience writing pieces for public platforms like your student newspaper, but don’t worry if you don’t – what matters most is that you’re a driven writer with an engaging voice that’s capable of drawing a crowd.
