Banbury United is recruiting two work experience placement students, applicable to anyone studying the new T Level Media course who is interested in developing content in football or sport. The college closest to Banbury offering this course is the City of Oxford College, but applications are open to anyone studying this course elsewhere in the region, as long as they have the means to get to and from Banbury regularly.

The aim is to complete the selection process in early 2026, for a start to the placement by the end of January. Prior to interviews, we are inviting candidates to attend a Banbury United match – first team, women’s team, development team or U18s (home or away) and make a 45-90 second reel of their own. We already have candidates due to attend this Saturday’s home match v Needham Market to make their reels. We will introduce our students to the Banbury United family when they are recruited.

Here is a short version of the job description shared with the City of Oxford College students:
