We are looking for Oxford Maths Ambassadors!

Ambassadors are students that make our outreach events truly welcoming and friendly, and make sure that things run smoothly. They’re pro-active and enthusiastic about Maths, and they work with us on open days, the Maths Festival, school visits, and online events like OOMC and the MAT Livestream. We pay our ambassadors Oxford Living Wage for most events.
