2026 Athlete programme

Open 65d posting dated 4 days ago

The Two Circles Athlete Programme offers current or recently retired full time athletes from any sport a one week immersive work experience opportunity. We hope this will help athletes to feel more confident as they step away from performance sport, and also help them to discover what opportunities there are within the sport business industry should they wish to pursue one.

We welcome a diverse range of athletes and previously have had athletes representing GB Figure Skating, GB Rowing, GB Rugby 7s, GB Alpine Skiing, GB Hockey, GB Kayaking, GB Judo, GB Skeleton, British Gymnastics, British Cycling, British Athletics, British Swimming and professional cricket players representing First Class Counties and professional rugby and netball players.

We are currently inviting applications for the next week of our program, which will run the week commencing 21st September 2026 from our London office in Holborn.

Please apply using the button below and to hear any additional information about our programme, please contact [email protected].

Requirements

To be considered you will need to be based in the United Kingdom, unless you are paying for your own travel from further overseas.

You will also need to be available to be in the London office for the full week, Monday to Friday.
