Classification
IQF Level 6
Job Summary
This role supports the development and delivery of strength and conditioning services for talented athletes and performance sport clubs at the University of Warwick.

IUSCA IQF Classification
This role appears to align most closely with IQF Level 6, as it involves planning and delivering physical development programmes for several university sport clubs, providing bespoke training programmes, analysing sport-specific S&C needs, interpreting training and performance data, contributing to monitoring and evaluation, and working within a multidisciplinary support network. Although the role works alongside the Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach and Performance Sport Manager, the responsibilities and essential criteria suggest autonomous practitioner capability rather than a purely supervised delivery role.
Associated IUSCA IQF Certification
IUSCA IQF Level 6 Accredited International Strength and Conditioning Practitioner (aISCP)
Salary and Role Alignment
Red. The advertised hourly rate appears low for the stated role scope and essential criteria. The role requires a degree or equivalent experience, professional accreditation or the ability to achieve it within 12 months, at least two years of S&C coaching experience, experience enhancing the performance of higher education, regional, or national level athletes, the ability to develop programmes, analyse sport demands, interpret performance data, and work within a multidisciplinary support network. These expectations are closer to Level 6 professional accountability, while the pay rate and variable-hours structure appear more consistent with casual or assistant-level delivery.
