- A sharp tactical eye and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed in men's open-age football
- The ability to work as part of a structured recruitment department—taking direction well and hitting deadlines with reports.
- Reliability, objectivity, and excellent networking skills within Manchester's amateur football scene.
Why join our Recruitment Department?
- Structured Environment: Work within a proper football hierarchy, gaining genuine experience of how a modern club recruitment department operates.
- Mentorship & Growth: Learn directly from our Head of Player Recruitment, perfect for aspiring scouts, opposition analysts, or sports data students looking to build a portfolio.
