Hi,

I'm interested in working in the sports industry. Would anybody know where one would go to find jobs within National Governing Bodies?

To the National Governing Bodies?

GalwayGrrrrrl

Do you work with local teams already? I'm not an expert in this area but I imagine the national people have worked their way up from similar jobs in local teams (maybe in unpaid positions initially). Did you speak to anyone in the post you are aiming for?

What kind of job are you looking for? Accountant, admin, marketing, management, HR, tech support etc. etc. etc.?
The sports governing bodies need the same type of staff as any other company. They also advertise open positions the same as any other company.

Like any other job these days, the easiest way to get a job is by networking - knowing someone who knows someone, or as suggested, working for a grass-roots level club or county board first. However if you don't have the qualification, skills or experience that they need then it's unlikely to work out.

Looked them up not much online at the minute. Just wondering if there was any recruitment agencies I could get in touch with.

No not spoken to anybody in the pose I'd be looking for as I'm not sure of exactly what post I would be definitely interestest. Just looking for information on where is the best place to go looking and how difficult posts are to come by

I do have a degree in Leisure Management.
I would be interested in the likes of event management, sport development, admin or working with initiatives that would work on increasing participation.
