29ers during Kiel Week off the coast of Kiel-Schilksee Olympic Harbour, the place of work of the BufDis we are looking for.
​The German Sailing Association is looking for two staff members to work on tasks relating to competitive sport and youth sailing at the Olympic training centre in Kiel-Schilksee as part of the Federal Voluntary Service scheme.

In addition to having completed their schooling, candidates are expected to have sailing experience and a passion for the sport. They will gain their first insights into the world of work right by the water’s edge. Alongside office-based duties, the ‘BufDis’ can expect to undertake organisational and planning tasks:

Have you finished school and aren’t quite sure what to do next? Would you like to get a taste of a sporting environment whilst learning about organisation, event planning and training design? Then the German Sailing Association in Kiel-Schilksee, right on the Baltic Sea, is the perfect place for you.

Become part of the wider sailing community and, as part of the Federal Voluntary Service programme, take a look behind the scenes at the leading sports federation for German sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing clubs, the regional sailing associations and class associations.

The start date and duration of the Federal Voluntary Service can be arranged flexibly by mutual agreement and can be tailored to suit your plansn. We have two vacancies in Kiel-Schilksee, both offering sea views, state-of-the-art technology, modern work equipment and a young, enthusiastic team. The choice is yours!

Send us an email at jugend@dsv.org or leistungssport@dsv.org Or just give us a ring whenever you fancy. You can reach the Youth Sailing Section on 040 632009951; for the Competitive Sport Section, dial 040 632009945.

We look forward to meeting you!
