We welcome applications from all suitably-qualified persons.
DBS clearance, safeguarding and protecting children and first aid for sport are essential and the role requires the job holder to have a minimum level 3 sports coaching qualification. Ideally, this would be the UEFA B Licence qualification in football. Also desirable is a qualification at degree level in sports coaching and the FA Advanced Youth Award.
The EFL has introduced positive action measures aimed at tackling the under-representation of coaches and managers from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds. New regulations require clubs to shortlist at least one suitably qualified BAME candidate (where an application has been received) for all roles in academy football that require a UEFA A or UEFA B License.
If you consider your ethnicity to fall within one of the following definitions - Black, Asian or other Minority Ethnic (i.e. from any other ethnic group that is not ‘White British’) - please inform us with your application.
