Who we are: Everton Football Club is one of world sport's most respected and revered names - a by-word for innovation and professionalism during the course of a glittering history that spans three centuries.

One of the 12 founder members of the Football League, Everton has played more games in English football's top flight than any other club.

While rightly proud of our rich past, and Goodison Park, our home of more than 130 years, we are now setting our sights on an exciting future at a state-of-the-art new stadium currently being constructed on the banks of the iconic River Mersey.

In doing so, we remain committed to developing and supporting teams across our men’s, women’s and Academy set-ups that inspire and compete at the highest level of the game.

Our values underpin how we behave, how we represent our club in our city and across the world of football, and how we look after one another and our community. They provide a framework for how we work and engage with partners, suppliers and, most importantly, our fans.

About the opportunity: We have an exciting opportunity for a part time, U16s Assistant Head Coach to join our Women’s Football department.

As Assistant U16s Head Coach you will be responsible for supporting our U16s Head Coach in leading the coaching and match preparation of the Under 16’s team, in a safe, secure and supportive environment.

You will contribute towards creating a culture that maximises the talent of each club player in all aspects of the four-corner model and help with the design and delivery of all performance analysis requirements across the Academy.
