Here’s your monthly rundown of sport psychology, mental health and wellbeing vacancies from across the UK, US and Australia.

In this edition, you can take a look at positions with the Australian Football League, UK Sports Institute and Boston Celtics, to namecheck just a few of the organisations featured.

As ever, I’ve tried to cast the net relatively wide, so I’m catching roles that will be of interest, whether you’re a sport psychologist, player care/welfare officer, performance professional (or simply reading to keep tabs on the jobs market).

There will undoubtedly be adverts I’m missed, so if you’ve seen a paid posting that I haven’t highlighted, just get in touch via mindroomenquiries@gmail.com and I’ll add any relevant roles to the list.
