Job Overview
At Footy for Tots, we believe a child’s first experience of football should be fun, engaging and something they look forward to every week. We’re looking for an enthusiastic Football Coach to join our team and help deliver high-quality sessions for children aged 18 months to 4 years.
As a coach, you’ll deliver our structured toddler football programme, creating a safe, supportive and engaging environment where young children can develop confidence, coordination, balance and their first football skills through play.

- Valid FA Safeguarding Children qualification.
- Valid FA Emergency First Aid qualification.
- Full UK driving licence and access to your own transport.
An in-date FA DBS is desirable but not essential, as we can help arrange this before you start.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic, reliable, punctual and confident working with young children and their families. You’ll be a positive role model with excellent communication skills, plenty of energy and a willingness to learn and develop as a coach.
