About The Role & Who We're Scouting
We're looking for a passionate and skilled First Team Strength & Power Coach to join our squad at Leicester City Football Club. As a First Team Strength & Power Coach, you'll play a key role in developing and delivering evidence-based strength and power programs for first-team players, focusing on optimizing physical performance, reducing injury risk, and supporting return-to-play protocols.
Your responsibilities will include designing and implementing strength and power training programs tailored to individual and positional needs, conducting regular assessments of strength, power, and movement quality. You'll collaborate closely with physiotherapists and medical staff in designing and progressing gym-based and pitch-based RTP programs, demonstrating an understanding of pathology and appropriate loading strategies. Attending and contributing to daily MDT meetings with Sports Science and Medical staff is also essential. You need to be proactive, innovative, and adaptable to the challenges in a fast-paced elite environment. If you're excited about making a difference and contributing to the club's success, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
The ideal candidate will have a BSc in Sports Science, Strength & Conditioning, or a related field, along with a UKSCA or NSCA-CSCS accreditation (or working toward it). Significant experience working in elite sport and experience with RTP processes and gym-based rehabilitation are required. Proficiency with VALD, Optojump, IKD, and other performance technology is essential, as well as comfort with athlete management systems, programming software (such as Teambuildr), and handling objective data.
If you believe your experience and skills match, and you have the drive, energy, and skills to work in a high-performance environment, we want you on our team!
