Huddersfield Town AFC

Academy Coaches

20 - 25 per hour (including holiday pay), in accordance with facilitating or leading sessions.

Part-time, 6 - 10 hours per week covering evenings and weekends for training and fixtures.

An exciting opportunity has arisen within our Academy team for suitably qualified and experienced candidates to lead coaching sessions or support other Coaches during training and fixtures. Successful candidates will be allocated to one of the U9-U16s squads and will work alongside the appropriate Phase Lead and Head of Academy Coaching to ensure the correct pathway opportunities are available for all Academy players.



Coaching experience within a Professional Academy / Player Development environment is essential, alongside experience of working with players in the Youth Development and Foundation phases.



This role requires flexibility and a willingness to work non-standard hours in accordance with the Club and Academy's needs. Passionate about making a difference through sport, the successful candidates must be able to form positive relationships with players and other team members.



If you have the specified qualifications and personal attributes and are enthusiastic about the variety and opportunities that this role offers, we would love to hear from you.



We receive a high volume of applications for our vacancies and as such, we encourage you to fully consider the job description and person specification and ensure that your application details how you feel you match our requirements. The volume of applications received prevents us from being able to provide feedback at short-listing stage.



To apply, please create an account in our online application portal and ensure you complete the associated questions in full, giving appropriate examples to support your statements as far as possible.



Please also highlight any factors that you would like us to consider, for example, if you have a disability or health condition that may require us to make reasonable adjustments in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.

Safeguarding

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and other stakeholders to share this commitment.



As this role is likely to involve the supervision of and work with children and young people or vulnerable adults, the successful candidate will require clearance to work in football and an Enhanced Criminal Records Check (CRC) through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).



Applicants must disclose all previous convictions including spent convictions in accordance with the associated legislation. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered 'protected'. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot consider them.



Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed is available on the Ministry of Justice website.

Equality and Inclusion

Huddersfield Town AFC is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community - a place where everyone can be themselves and in which everyone feels valued, included, and supported to achieve their full potential. We offer a range of family-friendly and inclusive employment arrangements, and we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination.



We are committed to the redress of any inequalities by taking positive action where appropriate.



We are a Disability Confident Leader and welcome applications from disabled candidates. We are also seeking to diversify our workforce, particularly by gender and ethnicity.
