Women’s Team Physical Performance Coach

£20.00 per hour.

Part-time (6 hours per week) covering Wednesday evenings (two hours) and match days/preparation time (four hours) during each season.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented individual to support our Women’s Team as a Physical Performance Coach.

In this role you will work with the Women’s First Team, and other age groups as required, taking responsibility for designing and delivering the athletic development strategies for the group(s) as a whole and for designing specific programmes to suit the needs of each individual player.

Working closely with the Women’s Team Manager, the post holder will support players to improve their strength and power markers, as well as GPS markers on the pitch including increases in maximum speed. You will lead physical development sessions both in the gym and on the pitch, also delivering all First Team testing and screening strategies and the nutrition strategy, and managing associated databases.

With previous proven experience in a sports performance environment and experience of providing strength and conditioning support to athletes, you must be well organised and passionate about making difference through sport, with a degree or equivalent in Sports Science or other relevant discipline.

We are looking for candidates with a genuine desire to be part of the next phase of development for our thriving Women’s Team, building on the success of the 2025/26 season.

If you have the specified experience, 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 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.

Please 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, young people, and adults and we expect all staff and other stakeholders to share and contribute to this commitment.

As this role is likely to involve the supervision of and work with children, young people, and/or adults at risk, 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; this can be done via a private letter/disclosure to the Head of Human Resources and EDI. 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 strives to promote 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 have comprehensive employment benefits including a Flexible Working Policy and enhanced provisions in relation to maternity, paternity, and adoption leave and pay.

We are well known as a leader within the football industry for our inclusive practices. We hold the Advanced Level Health Check Award for the Premier League Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Standard (PLEDIS) and the Gold Award for the EFL Equality Code of Practice. We are also a Disability Confident Leader, a Mindful Employer, and the first organisation to be accredited as both a Menopause Friendly and Menstruation Friendly Employer.

We welcome applications from candidates from all backgrounds, and we are particularly seeking to diversify our workforce in relation to gender, ethnicity, and disability. We are committed to the redress of any inequalities by taking positive action where appropriate.

As a Club, we describe our vision as ‘Everything Together’ and our associated values relate to the word ‘Everything’. If your values align with and add to ours, we would love to hear from you.
