Fife College Sports & Fitness department are seeking employers in the sport & fitness sectors (SGBs, Trusts, LAs, Sports Clubs, Charities, Gyms, Leisure centers) who can provide a work-based placement experience for 1 or more students, from Aug 2025 to Dec 2025- Block 1 or Jan 2026-April 2026- Block 2.
We have students undertaking a variety of course levels through NQ, HNC and HND all of which require volunteering placements in Sports Coaching, Sports Development & or Fitness/Exercise.
We are looking for organisations who can give them access to sports coaching, sports development & or fitness roles for upward of 20hours (per student, per placement), who are suitable to the students' study requirements.
As part of the Sports Development units, we require students to fulfil non-coaching roles within sports environments (i.e administrative support/event management roles), which can be discussed in further detail if this was of interest.
Students have been encouraged to volunteer throughout their full academic study, and progressing students (HNC-HND) will be required to complete roles with more responsibilities, therefore we hope that the placement could continue into subsequent years of study where applicable. Ideally this could lead to a longer term voluntary role or paid employment for the right candidate.
Students will require mentoring from the employer and will be supported by the college throughout.
