Firstaid4sport is very much open to working with students on a project/research basis and is currently involved in a postgraduate student consultancy project. There are currently no advertised opportunities but we will consider proposals and suggestions.

Firstaid4sport currently employs three University of Lincoln graduates in permanent, full time positions. Previous perceptions of graduates who have been interviewed for roles within the business have been mixed, with some graduates creating a very positive impression and others having unrealistic expectations, being unprepared or lacking awareness of the market and economic climate.

The advice to students seeking employment in our organisation is to do some research, be prepared, ask questions at interview and be realistic in your expectations.
