Vacancy: working intern (f/m) at the Dutch Combat Sports Authority (HBO/WO)

The Dutch Combat Sports Authority is looking for an enthusiastic intern (f/m) for a working placement and to carry out a research project. You will make an important contribution to the work of the Dutch Combat Sports Authority.

What do we offer?

We are a compact, young organisation that plays a pioneering role in regulating the full contact combat sports kickboxing, Thai boxing and MMA in the Netherlands. We work mainly from home. You will get the chance to really immerse yourself in the combat sports organisations in the Netherlands, from the gym around the corner to the largest international promotions such as Glory and UFC. We can introduce you to that world and guide you through it. We determine the precise content and scope of the research together. Through us you will get to know not only the combat sports organisations but also municipal government and other national sports organisations. We offer a placement for the period September 2021 to February 2022, on average about three to four days a week. The precise duration and scope can be agreed in consultation.

What do we ask of you?

Commitment, interest and, above all, enjoyment. Ultimately that also determines the quality of your work. Beyond that, you should enjoy doing research, it helps if you write fluently and well, and you should be willing to help us with all kinds of tasks that come our way and yours during your placement, such as attending and scheduling meetings and helping to write news items or meeting reports. You are flexible and do not mind occasionally being called on in the evening or at the weekend. You are also able to work well independently.

Above all, you should want to learn a lot. We expect a curious, open attitude from you as an intern. An affinity with (combat) sport is a requirement. The level is at least the final phase of higher professional or university education, in relevant fields such as sport, management and entrepreneurship, sports marketing, human movement sciences, social sciences, or marketing and communication.
