Rossall School is embarking on a new era of sport as we seek to professionalise our coaching model in our focus sports of Football, Golf, Hockey, Cricket and Netball. We are proud to launch a bold and transformative step forward in our sporting provision, one that will redefine the experience, ambition, and opportunity available to every student, both locally and globally.
At the heart of this development is the introduction of a specialist coaching model across our major sports. From September 2026, football, hockey, cricket, golf, and netball will be led by dedicated, high-performance coaches with extensive expertise and a passion for developing young athletes. This significant investment reflects a clear ambition: to create an environment where talent is nurtured, potential is unlocked, and every student can experience sport at its very best. In football, our programme is strengthened through our link with Manchester City, bringing world-class methodology, coaching insight, and a global perspective aligned with one of the most progressive clubs in world football. This connection places our students within an international footballing framework, exposing them to elite standards, modern playing philosophies, and opportunities that extend far beyond the school environment., At Rossall we provide a supportive and inclusive working environment where care for all our staff is an important part of our culture. We employ motivated people who work together to produce excellent outcomes for our staff and students. Our staff are recognised as being central to achieving our mission and vision statements, and long-term plans for the future.
The Head of Football Programme will work term time plus six weeks; 2 weeks of Michaelmas Pre-Season, 2 weeks of in-season tours and 2 weeks of Summer Camps. The salary is competitive depending on skills and experience.
