Since the introduction of Lottery Funding in 1997, high performance sport in Great Britain has gone through transformational change.
Over 40 Summer and Winter Olympic and Paralympic sports now have established World Class Programmes (WCPs) in place that provide world-leading training and competition support to athletes with the potential to achieve success on the global stage. There are around 1,000 high performance sport jobs spanning a range of organisations operating right across the UK – from National Governing Bodies, to the Home Nation Institutes of Sport, to central agencies like UK Sport, the British Olympic Association and British Paralympic Association.
Whether you aspire to specialise in a technical discipline like coaching or sports science and medicine, apply your management and leadership skills to developing programmes and teams, work in one or multiple sports, this is an exciting community to be part of and there are many different career options available.
