Referee Development Officer

As part of Lancashire Football Association’s drive and commitment to improve participation for our football family we are seeking a dedicated, highly motivated and inspiring team member to join the Workforce management team within Football Development, focusing on the retention and development of our Referee workforce.

The ideal candidate will contribute to the delivery of our Grassroots Development Plan and The FA National Game Strategy.

This is a full time, permanent role, working 35 hours a week, typically Monday to Friday but also with some evening and weekend commitments where applicable. Although based at Lancashire FA, there will be opportunities to work remotely and flexibly.

Working within a busy, high performing team, excellent communication and organisation is essential, along with a strong understanding of Referee development including the progression pathways at grassroots level.

The closing date for applications is 12th May 2024 and interviews will take place shortly afterwards.
