The search produced a concise list showing 1 – 10 of results found 63. This excerpt highlights ten specific vacancies across a range of sporting organisations and educational partners. Each entry preserves the original published date and the compensation or nature of the role, where provided, so readers can quickly compare opportunities by sector, location and pay.
The snapshot includes national governing bodies, county and club programmes and community-focused organisations.
The entries below are reproduced as listed: organisation, location, date and salary or status. Where a role is described as competitive, this indicates a selection process with shortlisting and assessment.
Where compensation is listed as a figure or a range, that is the advertised amount; where it is noted as n/a or voluntary, the role is either unpaid or not specified. These distinctions are important when prioritising applications.

Interpreting role types and next steps
Understanding labels and what they mean
When assessing listings, pay attention to the terms used: competitive implies a formal selection process and likely shortlisting; voluntary describes unpaid but often structured work that can offer experience and networks; unpaid placement frequently includes support such as accommodation and is aimed at practical experience; Hybrid indicates a mix of remote and travel commitments. Use these labels to match roles to your current availability and career goals, and prioritise paid vacancies if immediate income is a necessity.
Practical application advice
Start by creating a short application tracker listing organisation, location, date posted (preserve the listed dates such as 15 May 2026, 16 May 2026 and 17 May 2026), salary or status, and closing deadline where known. Tailor your cover letter to reflect how you match any selection criteria and highlight relevant experience when applying to national bodies versus community organisations. For competitive roles, prepare examples of assessed outcomes and expect competency-style interviews or assessment centres.
