Jobs in sport

Do you not only want to do sports, but also organise sports courses and events? Do you not yet know what you want to do after school? Then a Federal Voluntary Service (BFD) in sport might be the right thing for you!

Every year on 1 August, we are looking for someone for the Federal Voluntary Service in Sport (m/f/d) at the Wolfenbüttel campus - for around 12 months full-time.

You will help with the planning and organisation of sports activities and sporting events with around 90 trainers for the four Ostfalia locations.

The Federal Voluntary Service in Sport (and also the Voluntary Social Year) is for all sports enthusiasts in Lower Saxony who want to work in the sports sector. The service is organised together with ASC Göttingen von 1846 e.V. and Sportjugend Niedersachsen.

You can find more information in the flyer (external link, opens in a new window) and in the job advertisement Federal Volunteer Service (external link, opens in a new window).

The closing date for applications for 2025/2026 is 30.04.2025.

Our sports courses are usually led by students.

As a course leader, you will learn how to lead groups, take responsibility and organise independently. This experience will help you in your professional and private life.

You will fit in with us if you

• are reliable and attentive,
• have practical experience in your sport,
• can supervise up to 20 participants well,
• Resolve conflicts calmly,
• Take on responsibility,
• Can keep lists of participants,
• Check participant status and rules,
• sometimes drop by the university sports office spontaneously.

Training licences are an advantage, but not a must. A course usually takes place once a week and lasts one semester.

You work independently and are paid at the end of the course period.

All places for student and academic assistantships at Ostfalia University Sports are currently filled.
