Full job description

Football Fitness Academy (FFA) is a specialist Strength & Conditioning programme for young footballers aged 7-16, operating in Wokingham and Maidenhead. We work with players from grassroots through to academy level in small, capped groups with a maximum 4:1 player-to-coach ratio.

We are looking for a Head S&C Coach to lead our session delivery across Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings. This is a sessional role with a clear development pathway as the programme grows; more sessions, more hours, and a central leadership role in an expanding coaching programme.

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

You will not be running generic football drills. Every session is purpose-built around athletic development - explosive power, speed mechanics, plyometrics, strength, agility, delivered to groups of up to 8 players at a time. You will know every player by name, understand their goals, and build a coaching relationship that drives genuine results.

What You Will Do

Session Delivery

→ Plan and lead S&C sessions for groups of up to 8 players aged 7-16

→ Deliver across three weekly time slots with a consistent, high-quality methodology

→ Adapt sessions in real time based on player ability, fatigue, and response

→ Run warm-ups, main blocks, and cool-downs to FFA standards

→ Deliver the FFA First Steps programme for players aged 4-6 alongside main sessions on Mondays

Player Development

→ Know every player by name and understand their individual development goals

→ Set individual challenges and ensure every player is appropriately pushed

→ Conduct parent handover at session end - communicate progress and flag anything relevant

Standards & Safety

→ Review the MEAP (Medical Emergency Action Plan) before every session

→ Complete the risk assessment form before each session begins

→ Arrive early - equipment set up before the first player walks on the pitch

→ Manage the session register and report attendance

→ Uphold FFA’s safeguarding, conduct, and professional standards at all times

What We Need From You

Essential

→ Degree in Sports Science, Physical Education, Strength & Conditioning, or a related discipline

→ FA coaching qualification (Level 1 or above) or equivalent

→ Demonstrable experience working with young athletes

→ Full UK driving licence - you will be required to drive to session venues

→ Up-to-date DBS check (or willingness to obtain one immediately)

→ FA Safeguarding in Football certificate (or willingness to obtain before first session)

→ FA Emergency First Aid in Football (or willingness to obtain before first session)

Highly Desirable

→ UKSCA accreditation or working towards it

→ Previous experience in an S&C or athletic development coaching role

→ Experience working with academy or semi-professional youth players

→ Confident, high-energy delivery style that engages young players

Personal Qualities

→ Reliable, punctual, and self-motivated

→ Player-centred approach - you coach the individual in front of you, not a generic plan

→ Professional and well-presented - you represent FFA to parents from the moment you arrive

→ Ambitious - you want to grow your coaching career and see FFA as the platform to do it

What We Offer

→ £25-35/hour sessional rate depending on experience and qualifications

→ Direct mentorship from a UKSCA-qualified coach with 10+ years of experience

→ Growing session hours as FFA expands - new time slots opening in autumn 2026

→ Exposure to academy-level players in a professional development environment

→ FFA coaching kit provided

→ Quarterly team building events - offsite

→ A central leadership role as we build toward a multi-location programme

GROWTH PATHWAY

FFA is actively expanding - new sessions, First Steps for 4-6 year olds, and a partnership programme with a local football club. The right person will grow into the senior coaching role of an expanding organisation, not just fill a sessional vacancy. We are looking for someone who wants to build something, not just deliver sessions.
