We’re looking for current Second Year (Stage 2) students to become Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) Leaders to start in January 2027. Do you remember starting your degree? Why not use your experience to help others find their way while developing valuable skills for your future?
As a PAL Leader, you’ll facilitate relaxed, small-group study sessions for current first-year students on the same course as you. You’ll help them build confidence, share study strategies and navigate the challenges of university learning, all through discussion and collaborative learning, rather than teaching or providing answers.
What’s in it for you?
- Build confidence in leading groups and supporting others
- Develop communication, teamwork, and leadership skills
- Gain experience that strengthens your CV and future applications
-
Receive formal recognition (certificate + employability points + open reference)
- Help shape a positive experience for students
Who can apply?
We’d love to hear from you if you:
- Are a current Stage 2 student in the following Schools: Psychology, Social Sciences, Kent Business School, Conservation, Chemistry & Forensic Science, Sport & Exercise Science, Creative Writing
- Are approachable, reliable and keen to make a difference
- Enjoy working with others and sharing your experiences
No previous experience is needed! This is a voluntary role, with training and ongoing support provided by Skills for Academic Success (SAS) and your academic School.
