Overview
Lead Football Coach - NewAge Football Academy
Contract: Self-employed / contractor
Location: Hamilton (FIVES Hamilton)
Closing Date: 18 September
NewAge Football Academy is growing, and we’re looking for motivated, reliable football coaches to deliver high-quality 1-2-1, small-group, and large-group training sessions. This is an opportunity to coach ambitious young players in an academy-style environment—with the flexibility to set your own coaching load, earn competitively, and be part of a forward-thinking training programme.
Responsibilities
* Deliver 1-2-1, small-group, and large-group training sessions
* Support other coaches where needed to ensure smooth, high-quality sessions
* Contribute to the design of our coaching programme by helping plan themes, drills, and session structures
* Provide player feedback to parents, supporting development both on and off the pitch
* Create a positive, challenging, and fun environment for players
* Communicate effectively with players and parents
* Represent NewAge Football Academy’s professional standards both on and off the pitch
Compensation & Schedule
* £15/hour for 1-2-1 sessions
* £20/hour for small-group (2+ players) sessions
* Hours are flexible and uncapped – the more sessions you take, the more you earn
* Most sessions run on weekday evenings and weekends, so availability during these times is essential
Coaching Pathway & Development
We believe in developing our coaches as much as our players. At NewAge, you’ll have the chance to progress along a clear pathway, with progression bringing increased pay, responsibility, and long-term opportunities—from helping with academy operations to mentoring other coaches, and moving into part-time or full-time management roles as the academy grows.
You’ll Be a Great Fit If You…
* Have experience coaching or working with young footballers
* Are confident, enthusiastic, and passionate about player development
* Are reliable, punctual, and organised
* Can adapt sessions to suit different ages and ability levels
* Hold (or are working towards) an SFA/UEFA coaching qualification (ideal but not essential)
What You’ll Get from Us
* Competitive pay with uncapped earning potential
* 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
