Share your expertise about student life in your city – here’s everything you need to know about our Content Ambassador programme.
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.
By writing for our blog, you’ll gain valuable paid writing experience working with a nationally-recognised brand, as well as an understanding of how to write content that drives traffic and find the topics people are searching for.
Being a UniHomes Content Ambassador is a great way to earn some extra cash while studying, and sharpen your skills ahead of job-hunting.

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 student traffic to the UniHomes brand, so your writing style should be informal, chatty and capable of drawing a crowd.
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!
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 helping students make their most of their uni days and have the best possible experience – and that’s where you come in.
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’ll then be in touch with a trial task, asking you to write a sample blog post on a topic of our choosing.
Depending on the outcome of the written task, we’ll contact you further for a quick onboarding/meet the team session. It’s that easy!
There are loads of benefits to being a Content Ambassador, including:
It’s only fair that you get rewarded for your time and effort, so you’ll be paid an hourly rate for the pieces you write.
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.
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.
