UBC Orientations is currently recruiting squad leaders who will be responsible for the coordination and delivery of integrated orientation and transition programming for our incoming class of first year students.
In an effort to align student leadership opportunities across Imagine UBC and Jump Start, we are recruiting squad leaders for both programs.
The squad leader positions for both Imagine UBC and Jump Start have many similarities. Responsibilities of the position include:
- Building and supporting an engaged community of leaders through in person, group and online connections.
- Providing logistical support for the planning and delivery of the first year experience, including leader recruitment, selection and training.
- Supporting transition program planning for new to UBC students.
- Being a positive role model and representative of UBC.
The skills and experiences students gain through the squad leader role include: awareness of the needs of students in transition, facilitation, written and verbal communication, time management, organization, active listening, problem solving, and experience working with diverse teams.
Students are invited to choose the program they apply for based on the time they can commit to the role and whether or not they’re especially interested in working with international and Aboriginal students.
While the recruitment committees will be selecting for the specific roles, students who apply to be a squad leader for one of the programs will automatically be considered for all positions with orientation programming that they are qualified for.
Application deadlines
- Students interested in working with Imagine UBC are invited to apply by November 10.
- Students interested in being a Squad Leader for Jump Start have until November 20 to apply.
