Job Summary

Assist Notre Dame football S&C staff in delivering supervised training to Division I student-athletes during the January-April 2027 period. Support gym and field session setup, equipment care, training-space preparation and athlete supervision. Complete assigned performance projects and operational tasks under senior staff direction. Gain practical exposure to a collegiate high-performance environment while developing professional coaching skills. The role does not include independent responsibility for programme design or athlete performance outcomes.

Level 2 reflects supervised assistance with Division I football S&C sessions, exercise supervision, equipment preparation and assigned performance projects. The position does not independently design or own athlete programmes, perform complex assessment or make autonomous performance decisions. The employer requires a relevant bachelor's degree and pursuit of CSCCa SCCC certification or relevant certification from CSCCa, NSCA or USAW, together with CPR/first-aid training. These requirements are disproportionate to the assessed supervised Level 2 scope; they do not justify reclassifying the role upward.

The advertised USD $15.00 hourly rate appears materially modest given the employer's mandatory bachelor's degree, certification pathway expectations and the professional collegiate setting, even though the actual work is supervised Level 2 practice. Under the IUSCA IQF Role Classification & Salary Alignment methodology, this results in a Red rating. The exact hours, paid training time and other benefits are not stated.
