Job Summary
Support rehabilitation and physical preparation for Williamstown's VFLW players as part of the medical and high-performance team. Help develop and deliver individual recovery, prehabilitation and neuromuscular activation activities in collaboration with the High Performance Manager and physiotherapists.

IUSCA IQF Classification
Level 4. Supports and implements rehabilitation, recovery and injury-prevention activity under the High Performance Manager and medical team, with defined responsibility for reporting, monitoring and assisting with athlete testing. The advert does not establish full autonomous ownership of the wider rehabilitation or S&C system. The employer lists a relevant Human Movement/Exercise/Sport Science degree and a qualified S&C coach as essential, alongside allied-health/manual-therapy capability and sports-trainer credentials; a mandatory degree is disproportionate to the assessed Level 4 scope. No named S&C certification body is specified.
Associated IUSCA IQF Certification

Salary and Role Alignment
Grey. No salary or contracted hours are disclosed, so salary alignment cannot be fully assessed. IUSCA Indicative Minimum Salary Benchmark: AUD $85,000 full-time equivalent plus superannuation, pro rata for agreed hours; for a genuinely casual arrangement, the applicable casual loading should be added. The benchmark recognises rehabilitation duties, multidisciplinary reporting, mandatory match attendance and the unusually broad academic and allied-health requirements. The degree requirement appears excessive for the advertised Level 4 autonomy.
