JOB DESCRIPTION

JOB TITLE: Performance Wellbeing Lead
DEPARTMENT: Women and Girls
REPORTS TO: Head of Women and Girls
LOCATION: Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground
HOURS: 37.5
DATE: June 2026

We are Wolves. English football’s original innovators.

Formed in 1975 as Heathfield Rovers, initially as a West Midlands League second division club, they
later became Wolverhampton & Wednesbury Tube and then Wolverhampton Ladies before taking
the name Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1993. In the 1993/94 season they we were promoted to the
Premier League, which was then the top flight of Women’s football.

In 2008/09, the women and girls’ programme were taken on board by the Wolves community trust.
This support continued until the 2021/22 season, where the academy took control of the female
provision, ensuring the boys and girls alike are given opportunities to play at Wolves.

The 2019/20 season and 2020/21 season saw Wolves Women top of the table in both seasons, only
to have the leagues ended abruptly due to COVID. This prevented promotion to tier 3, however,
Wolves were successful in an ‘upwards movement’ initiative, allowing them to move into the FA
Women’s National League, Northern Premier Division.

Following a sustained period of progression, Wolves Women achieved promotion to WSL 2 after
winning Tier 3 and is firmly established as a leading side within the FA Women’s National League.
Building on a second-place league finish and a successful promotion campaign, the team now
competes in WSL 2, marking a significant step in its continued development. As the club advances,
the focus remains on competing at the highest level possible while providing a professional
environment that supports the ongoing growth and performance of both players and staff.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and
adults at risk. We expect all colleagues and volunteers to share this commitment. This means that
the post-holder is required to apply all relevant policies and uphold the Club’s commitment to
safeguarding children, young people and adults at risk
