Latest Sport Psychology, Mental Health & Wellbeing Jobs

Your regular round up of roles from across the UK, US and Australia

Hi everyone!

Another month, another batch of vacancies to get your teeth into. Some really interesting roles with the likes of:

• Manchester City

• Tottenham Hotspur

• Australian Athletics

Really encouraging to see the number of live ads, after what seemed like a fairly lean start to the year. There are positions on offer across different areas of the backroom, from psychology and mental health to player care and wellbeing. I’ve also included a few performance-focused openings, where there’s some evidence of a psychology slant to the listing.

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