What You'll Be Doing:
* Deliver 1-2-1, small-group, and large-group training sessions
* Support other coaches where needed to ensure smooth, high-quality sessions

Hours & Pay:

* Lead Coach

Progression through this pathway can bring increased pay, responsibility, and long-term opportunities - from helping with academy operations to mentoring other coaches, and even moving into part-time or full-time management roles as the academy grows.

* Are confident, enthusiastic, and passionate about player development
* Are reliable, punctual, and organised
* Can adapt sessions to suit different ages and ability levels

* Clear progression pathway with long-term opportunities
* Ongoing support, mentoring, and session frameworks to help you succeed
* Access to academy resources, equipment, and facilities
* The chance to grow with a new and ambitious football academy, with opportunities to shape its future direction.
