The role will require delivery on both the education and practical side of the course and will include regular liaison with parents and guardians of the students on the course, as well as the relevant departments within the Football Club.

The post holder will be responsible for the Post 16 Football Development Programme in Redruth and will be responsible for the recruitment of future students, attendance at training days and meetings set up by any partner organisations related to this scholarship programme. In addition to this, the lead staff member will also line manage the coaching team for this specific programme and co-ordinate the football programme.

There is also a requirement for the Lead Sport Tutor and Coach to have either qualified teaching status, be working towards this accreditation or be qualified to degree level in a sport-related theme or have relevant teaching experience.
