UHI Perth – Sport, Health & Outdoor Education Department

UHI Perth’s Sport, Health and Outdoor Education department is seeking organisations across the sport, fitness, therapy and outdoor sectors to support student placements during the following periods:

  • Block 1: Aug–Dec 2025
  • Block 2: Jan–Apr 2026
    (Partial placements within these blocks are welcome.)

We are looking for opportunities in:

  • Sports Coaching: assisting with session planning, delivery, and reflection
  • Fitness Instruction: gym-based experience, client support, and programme delivery
  • Sports Therapy: supporting injury prevention, rehab, or recovery activities
  • Outdoor Adventure: assisting with group activities, equipment setup, safety, and participant support in outdoor environments

Students are studying at HNC, and HND levels and require a minimum of 20 hours per placement. They are supported by UHI Perth throughout, and progressing students will take on increased responsibilities. Longer-term volunteering or potential paid roles are encouraged where appropriate.

If you’re able to support a student placement or would like more information, we’d be happy to hear from you
