We are currently looking a medical student to work alongside Sports Therapy and Sports Science Students to attend and support the Weekly drop in Clinic, which is located at Star Academy Solutions off Amhurst Road, Hackney E8 as well as coming in on cycling race days to support the riders in the role of a Soigneur. There will also be opportunities for Students to travel with riders in the UK and throughout Europe.
