Job Summary
Deliver age-appropriate athletic development for Millfield student-athletes aged 11-18 within the school's long-term athletic development framework. Plan and coach physical preparation sessions and contribute to athlete profiling and monitoring. Educate pupils and coaching staff about preparation, recovery and training habits. Work within a multidisciplinary athletic-development department while completing structured mentoring, observation and reflective professional development. The role includes recreational gym supervision, weekend duties and two weeks supporting pre-school training camps.
IUSCA IQF Classification
Level 4 reflects independent preparation and delivery of athletic development within an established long-term athletic development framework, with structured observation, feedback and mentorship from senior coaches. The practitioner undertakes profiling and monitoring but does not lead department-wide strategy or complex multidisciplinary decisions. The employer seeks a relevant degree or final-year study and UKSCA accreditation or achievement within six months, with practical and financial support. A completed degree is not essential for IUSCA Level 4 and may be excessive if applied as a strict prerequisite.

Salary and Role Alignment
Red. The advertised £15,843.11 annual cash salary appears materially modest relative to 39 weekly working hours during term time, independent Level 4 session planning and delivery, profiling duties and UKSCA accreditation expectations. Board and lodging, holiday-pay inclusion and funded accreditation support add meaningful non-cash value, and the role is not a 52-week contract. Under the IUSCA IQF Role Classification & Salary Alignment methodology, this results in a Red rating; a final assessment should confirm exact paid weeks and total hours.
