Due to the nature of the programme, the position may include evening work and requires someone who is dependable, organised and comfortable working within a youth football environment.

Applicants must hold the appropriate D1 entitlement to drive a minibus.

We would particularly welcome applications from individuals who also have a football coaching background, as there may be opportunities to combine driving responsibilities with coaching support across our youth programme.

• Willingness to complete all necessary safeguarding and safer-recruitment checks

Desirable:

• FA/UEFA coaching qualification
• Goalkeeping coaching qualification or relevant experience
• Previous experience within academy, youth development or grassroots football
• Experience transporting children or young people in a professional or sporting environment

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a flexible role within football, particularly an individual who can combine professional driving with coaching expertise and become an active part of our Post 16 Programme.
