UWE Bristol Centre for Sport has a fantastic Internship opportunity open to UWE Domicile Undergraduate students. At UWE Bristol Sport we are looking for a motivated and creative student to undertake this 8 week internship, focused on developing UWE Bristol Sport’s Gym and MOVE Buddy Scheme.
The Buddy Scheme aims to help those who may like to go to the gym or get involved in MOVE activities but may be experiencing low confidence, anxiety or loneliness. The Buddy Scheme aims to recruit students as Buddies and pair them with participants who would benefit from extra support.
You’ll get to research other successful Buddy Schemes, conduct research with UWE Bristol students and create a UWE Bristol Sport Buddy Scheme.
Our vision is to ‘Provide every student with the opportunity to play sport or take part in healthy activity at a time and level appropriate to them’. We provide a range of activities that are open to students, staff and the community. We are looking for a motivated, proactive and creative Undergraduate student to help take our provision to the next level and be as inclusive as possible.
Whilst an interest in sport, health and physical activity is advantageous, it is not essential.
Where is this role based?
This post is based at our lively Frenchay campus where we have invested in the latest facilities and resources to give both our staff and students access to everything they need to succeed, while we continue to develop incredible new facilities to enhance our offer even further.
The campus has excellent transport links; we are within walking distance of two train stations, our bus terminus connects us to the local bus and metrobus network and we also have a range of cycling and changing facilities.

UWE Bristol is a campus-based University and it is important for our success and the delivery of an outstanding experience for our students that our campuses are dynamic and vibrant places to learn and spend time. This role is therefore campus based with some opportunity for remote/home working.
The University’s normal practice is that new appointments will be made at the starting point of the grade.
We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role under the Home Office Skilled Worker visa route. As we are unable to sponsor anyone requiring a visa for this role candidates must therefore be able to provide their own right to work in the UK.
Should you be shortlisted you will be asked to provide your right to work documents at your interview. Please refer to the Home Office Right to Work Checklist which provides details of which documents are acceptable.
Please note that UWE does not cover any visa or health surcharge costs.
