IUSCA IQF Classification
This role appears to align provisionally with IQF Level 6, as it is a full-time physical performance role within a professional football officiating environment. Although the detailed job description PDF was not accessible through the listing, the role sits within the Fitness and Medical department and appears likely to require autonomous physical performance support, monitoring, communication, and applied decision-making for match officials across a national programme. The classification should be reviewed if the full job description shows substantial leadership, system ownership, or responsibility for the decision quality of other practitioners, as that could move the role towards IQF Level 7.

Salary and Role Alignment
Grey. Salary is not disclosed, so full salary and role alignment cannot be assessed. Based on the visible listing, this appears to be a full-time Level 6 physical performance role within a national professional football environment. If the full role includes programme design, athlete monitoring, testing, performance data interpretation, travel, and responsibility for match official physical preparation, the salary should reflect the applied expertise and accountability required.
IUSCA recommended minimum salary: £45,000 per year
This minimum recommendation reflects the Level 6 classification, the full-time national performance environment, the professional football context, and the likely requirement for autonomous practitioner judgement. A higher salary may be appropriate if the full job description includes substantial programme ownership, travel, interdisciplinary decision-making, department-wide systems work, or leadership of other practitioners.
