About Us

Roll With It Football Coaching (RWI) delivers elite, structured football coaching for players aged 5–18 across Surrey. Built on over 20 years of coaching experience within Chelsea FC's Foundation and Academy programmes, and backed by a coaching team with further experience at Fulham FC and PSG — over 40 years of combined elite-level football development — RWI exists to give every player a genuine pathway to improve, whatever their starting point.

We run structured membership programmes across Large Group, Small Group (Development, Advanced, Pro), and 1:1 Training, each designed to develop technical ability, tactical understanding, physical performance, and player confidence in a professional, engaging environment.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced, driven Lead Football Coach to take ownership of sessions across our membership programmes. This is a hands-on coaching role for someone who already has the confidence and know-how to plan and deliver high-quality sessions independently — and who wants to build something long-term with a growing, ambitious coaching business.

What You'll Be Doing

As Lead Coach, you'll:

• Plan and deliver structured sessions across our Large Group, Small Group, and 1:1 programmes
• Adapt coaching content to different age groups and ability levels, from grassroots to advanced players
• Track and communicate player development and progress
• Represent RWI's coaching standards and values in every session
• Support the wider growth of the coaching team, with scope to mentor Support Coaches as the business expands

Where This Role Leads

We're building RWI's coaching team with a genuine path to full-time work. As demand grows across our membership tiers, so does the opportunity to move from part-time sessions into a full-time contract with guaranteed hours and a structured pay progression model.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You…

• Have prior experience coaching football, ideally within an academy, foundation, or structured coaching environment
• Hold a recognised coaching qualification (essential)
• Are confident leading sessions independently, with strong communication and man-management skills
• Are reliable, punctual, and comfortable working evenings and weekends
• Share our commitment to developing players both on and off the ball

What You'll Get From Us

• £20.00 per session, with a clear progression route to a full-time contract
• A structured, professional coaching framework to work within
• The opportunity to work alongside a team with Chelsea, Fulham, and PSG academy experience
• A genuine say in shaping sessions and player development plans
• A positive, ambitious coaching culture with room to grow
