St.Helens R.F.C. is offering voluntary media roles with our media department to gain valuable experience at a professional rugby league club.
The Saints are looking to expand our coverage of our Reserves, Academy, Scholarship, and Women’s teams, with a team of enthusiastic and passionate media volunteers who will contribute towards; live match social coverage, match reports, content creation, interviews and much more.
These roles are perfect opportunities for people who are currently studying courses such as; journalism, sports media, or digital media, or a pursuing a careers in those fields. With the successful candidates learning and contributing alongside our highly experienced staff in the Club’s media department.
These voluntary roles are on an unpaid, basis but offer successful candidates the chance to gain valuable experience in a professional sporting, and real-life working environment. Our chosen media volunteers will have understanding of flexibility for studies or other commitments, and there will be no set or fixed obligation levels of expectation.
Whilst a permanent role with the Club is not guaranteed following completion of these roles, our media volunteer team will help enhance their own transferable skills for future work within the sport and media industries.
Ideal candidates will be eager to learn and support our media department, and would be expected to frequently discuss their availability to assist the Club from February 2025 through to October 2025. Match days will be highly important to attend in person with our youth and Women’s teams playing mainly on weekends, with occasional evenings for some games, and for coverage of training. Again, as these roles are voluntary, there will flexibility on when and how you can work as part of our media volunteer team, and this will be an ongoing process. If you feel that the role is not working for you, then you are free to end your availability at any time.

Post Updated – Tuesday, 31st December 2024
Previously this post referred to the roles the Club is accepting applications for as voluntary media internships. However, for clarity this has been now updated to a voluntary role, or becoming part of our media volunteer team. The Club has contacted those who had previously sent their applications to ensure they are still comfortable with submitting an application.
