The opportunity
This is a brilliant early-career opportunity for someone who loves motorsport, loves communicating and wants to build a career in content and communications.
You will join Motorsport UK Creative, our in-house team spanning strategy, insight, marketing, content, digital, and communications, and help bring the sport to life for members, media and new audiences.
You do not need a long CV or years of press-office experience. We are looking for some evidence that you can write – through work, study, volunteering, a club, a blog, social content or your own projects – but we care just as much about your energy, curiosity, ideas and willingness to get stuck in.
About Motorsport UK
Motorsport UK is the national governing body and membership organisation for four-wheeled motorsport in the UK. We represent a passionate community of more than 100,000 people, including 64,000 competitors, 11,000 volunteers and officials, and more than 600 clubs.
Our ambition is simple: to help more people enjoy motorsport, more often. Clear communication, compelling storytelling and a confident public voice are central to making that happen.
What you will do
- Write lively, accurate content for the Motorsport UK newsroom, member emails, media materials and management briefings – adapting your tone for different audiences.
- Help spot, research and develop stories from across British motorsport, from grassroots competition and volunteers to major events and national campaigns.
- Support the planning, production and delivery of Revolution, our monthly member magazine, including coordinating contributors, writing features and keeping production on track.
- Develop press releases, manage media enquiries, interview coordination, briefing notes and proactive story pitching.
- Publish and update content through our website content management system, making sure it is clear, timely, accessible and on brand.
- Bring fresh, digital-first ideas for how stories can work across web, email, social, video and magazine content – not simply repeat the same copy everywhere.
- Build positive relationships with colleagues, clubs, competitors, volunteers, partners, journalists and contributors so that good stories reach the team quickly.
- Help keep editorial plans, deadlines, approvals and shared information organised, while checking facts, names, dates, links and spelling carefully.
- Track how content performs and use what we learn to make the next story, edition or campaign stronger.
- Pitch in across Team Creative when priorities change or a big motorsport moment demands a fast, collaborative response.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we are looking for
The essentials
- Genuine passion for motorsport and an appetite to learn more about its disciplines, people and communities.
- Energy, enthusiasm and initiative – you notice opportunities, bring ideas and are happy to get involved.
- A natural feel for clear, engaging writing, with some examples you can share. These could come from employment, education, volunteering, a motorsport club, a blog, social media or personal projects.
- The ability to change tone for different formats and audiences, while keeping language accurate, accessible and human.
- Strong digital instincts and curiosity about how audiences consume news and content across different platforms.
- A collaborative approach: you enjoy being part of a busy team, welcome feedback and want the whole team’s work to succeed.
- Good organisation and attention to detail, with the ability to manage several tasks and ask for help when priorities compete.
- Calmness, sound judgement and professionalism when handling deadlines, sensitive information or fast-moving stories.

Useful, but not essential
- Some experience in communications, journalism, PR, publishing or content creation. This may come from a first role, internship, placement, volunteering or your own work.
- Experience using a content management system, email platform, social publishing tool or basic analytics.
- Experience contributing to a publication, newsletter, website, podcast, video channel or club communications.
- An understanding of membership organisations, governing bodies or the wider sports media landscape.
What success looks like
- Our content is timely, accurate, lively and recognisably Motorsport UK.
- Revolution magazine is well planned, smoothly produced and full of stories members want to read.
- The press office and wider Creative team can rely on you to follow through, meet deadlines and maintain high standards.
- You build trusted relationships across the sport and become a confident source of ideas and stories.
- You develop quickly, growing your writing range, editorial judgement, digital skills and understanding of communications.
Why join us?
You will work at the heart of British motorsport, in a team with ambitious plans to modernise how the sport communicates and grows. You will get real responsibility, broad exposure and hands-on development across editorial, digital content, magazine production and PR.
Above all, we want someone who is excited by the opportunity: a motorsport enthusiast, an emerging communicator and a generous team player who wants to learn quickly and make an impact.
