About Brighton & Hove Albion FC
We compete at the highest levels of football on a global stage whilst keeping our Sussex community spirit. Our vision is to be a top ten Premier League club and a top four Women’s Super League club. A commitment to high performance, high professional standards and making a difference is at the heart of everything we do. The 2023/24 season is the start of new adventures, our first in European football and we would love for you to be part of our journey.
Inspire the minds of our academy players in our education provision
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and passionate individual to lead our in-house education department. You will be responsible for the organisation and delivery of our education provision for our academy scholars, schoolboys and U21 players. This role involves line management of our educational staff including teachers. We are looking for someone with strong stakeholder management as the role will liaise with the Premier League and other agencies to ensure the programmes are organised and delivered appropriately and according to requirements. This role will work closely with the multi-disciplinary team to ensure any new players are integrated into the programme effectively and smoothly.
Your educational background
We are looking for someone who has management experience in an educational setting with BTEC, GCSE and A Level experience – ideally within a football academy but that part is not essential. You will have a creative nature as we will need you to teach engaging lessons and presentations.
We will have to carry out a teacher check before starting, so it is essential you are a qualified teacher with qualified teacher status.
