Health and Wellbeing Industrial Placement
Brackley, UK
At The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team we are a team of passionate and enthusiastic people who work together to design and develop the cars driven by seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton and Grand Prix winner George Russell.
Every individual plays their part. No stone is left unturned in the chase for every tenth of a second. The history of our sport is long and rich, and we are continuing our journey with renewed effort year on year.
We know that our wellbeing programme is the best on the grid; however, we also appreciate it can be better, that we can reach more team members and have an even greater lasting impact on individual and team performance. To do so, we are looking for a passionate Health and Wellbeing Industrial Placement.
Our wellbeing programme provides every Team member with an opportunity to optimise their individual wellbeing. Our framework focuses on four key attributes of wellbeing: Physical, Mental, Recovery, and Social.
Working collaboratively as part of a small group, you will have the opportunity to apply the latest academic thinking from your studies to deliver measurable impact in one of the most challenging sport performance environments in the world. You will complete key projects during your time here to enhance the wellbeing of individuals and deliver performance to the Team.
The role will cover a broad range of activities from organisation and delivery of training through to data analytics and reporting. You will find yourself engaged with all areas of our Team across a broad spectrum of activities.
For you to support us in our ambition, you will be hyper-curious about human performance, health, and wellbeing. You will have a passion for wellbeing that delivers performance. You will have a high drive for both success and excellence, with the ability to work well individually or as part of a team. You have a humble confidence in your own ability matched with a healthy regard for your own limitations.
We encourage applications from individuals involved in undergraduate study including but not limited to:
You have completed at least one year of undergraduate studies and must have at least one year of academic studies left (undergraduate or postgraduate) at the time of taking up your placement with us in July 2025.
As a placement student with us, you will enjoy the same responsibilities and creative freedoms as our full-time employees and will make a very real contribution to the Health and Wellbeing of our Team.
Supported and mentored by experienced team members, you will see your skills develop over your time with us.
Please note that the role is office-based, at our campus in Brackley, United Kingdom.
Our riverside campus is powered by 100% renewably sourced energy and features an on-site gym and exercise studio, subsidised restaurant, and on-site parking with EV chargers available.
We offer a competitive and attractive package of benefits including private medical cover, annual health assessments, life assurance, free onsite gym, and 25 days holiday.
At the heart of our performance are our people. Every member of our team has a voice and plays their part in contributing to our successes on and off the racetrack.
We will ask you to complete a questionnaire as well as submit a cover letter and CV. Please upload your cover letter and CV as one single PDF file.
As part of the application process, you will be required to complete the following tests (if you have not completed them within the last 6 months):
All assessments in the recruitment process are in English: this is the primary language used within the organisation, and you need a good level of written and spoken English in the Industrial Placement role.
As an inclusive organisation keen to attract the best talent, we welcome international applications and will support visa sponsorship where possible. For this role, you will need to be in a position to self-fund candidate costs of the visa process which are typically in the region of £3,000.
