Women’s football isn’t just growing—it is a cultural explosion, and Kenningwell United WFC is right at the epicenter. Competing fiercely in the Greater London Women’s Football League (Tier 7), ruthlessly expanding our youth footprint through the Junior Premier League, and working alongside icons like our Honours President—Chelsea pioneer Natasha Anne Randall—we aren't just running a club. We are building an empire.

Our bloodline is simple: Play with Heart. Win with Honor. We don't do mediocre. We are seeking an elite, strategically obsessed Assistant Director of Football to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our Director of Football. This is a high-octane, executive-level volunteer position designed for someone who wants to inject raw passion into our football philosophy, dominate squad progression, and carve their name into a lasting legacy for women and girls across South London.

🎯 YOUR ROLE: STRATEGISE, DOMINATE, AND DELIVER

As the Assistant Director of Football, you are the bridge between board-level strategy and absolute, pitch-side dominance. You will help weaponise the football infrastructure across our competitive First Team, development squads, and rising youth pipelines.

• Command Technical Standards: Partner with the Director of Football to dissect team performance, instill elite athletic standards, and actively back our First Team Head Coach.
• Unleash Elite Sports Science: Sync directly with our advanced medical and analytics teams—utilising bleeding-edge monitoring systems (like Kubios and Elite HRV)—to ensure our players peak safely and explosively.
• Fuel the Youth Pipeline: Drive our strategic charge into the Junior Premier League (U12–U14), crafting a seamless, lethal pathway from youth grassroots straight to senior football.
• Orchestrate Backroom Power: Work hand-in-hand with our coaching advisors, performance analysts, and scouts to hunt down new talent and onboard world-class backroom staff.
• Protect the Culture: Guard and champion the club’s values fiercely—fostering diversity, equality, and mental resilience across every single squad.

🐈‍⬛ THE PROFILE WE WANT

• A Pure Football Brain: A relentless understanding of modern football structures, player pathways, or sports management. Holding or working toward an FA / UEFA coaching or talent identification qualification is highly desirable.
