The Role
We’re looking for a Football Coach to help lead our new soccer school sessions each Saturday morning.
This is an ideal role for someone who:
- Loves working with young children and seeing them learn through play
- Understands or is keen to apply the FA’s “Play Phase” philosophy
- Can create sessions that are fun, imaginative, and child-led
- Brings energy, buckets of patience, and a big smile to every session
Whether you’re already a qualified coach, a parent with coaching experience, or someone whose own children have grown up but you miss being part of the football environment — this could be perfect for you.
What We’re Looking For
- Enthusiasm and passion for working with young children
- A positive, encouraging coaching style
- Basic understanding of child development and safeguarding
- Ideally FA Level 1 / Introduction to Coaching Football (or willingness to work towards it)
- Experience of working with or coaching young players is an advantage but not essential
- Reliability and a genuine desire to help children enjoy the game
What You’ll Do
- Plan and deliver fun, age-appropriate football activities
- Create a safe, inclusive environment where every child feels welcome
- Encourage play, creativity, and teamwork
- Communicate positively with parents and caregivers
- Support the club’s ethos of football for enjoyment and development
What You’ll Gain
- A rewarding role helping children begin their football journey
- Support from experienced club coaches and committee members
- The opportunity to be part of a friendly, community-driven club
- Access to club training, mentoring, and FA development pathways
