Lewes FC is looking for two exceptional people to help lead, shape, and grow our women’s football programme. These are rare opportunities to join a club that does things differently – and means it.
Head of Women’s Football
This is a senior leadership role at the heart of everything we do on the women’s side. The Head of Women’s Football will own the sporting vision for Lewes FC Women – leading our performance culture, driving recruitment strategy, supporting our coaching and technical staff, and making sure the “Lewes Way” runs through everything we do.
This isn’t just about results on the pitch. It’s about building an environment where players and staff are genuinely cared for, challenged, and empowered to be their best. You’ll work closely with our Board, represent the club with The FA and key stakeholders, and help shape the long-term future of women’s football at Lewes.
We’re looking for someone with serious leadership experience in elite sport, a deep understanding of the women’s game, and the emotional intelligence to build a culture that’s ambitious and human in equal measure.

Assistant Head of Women’s Football – Operations & Welfare
Behind every great team is someone making sure everything actually works. The Assistant Head of Women’s Football – Operations & Welfare is that person for Lewes FC Women.
From matchday logistics and training schedules to player welfare, safeguarding, and governance compliance – this role keeps the programme running smoothly so that coaches can coach and players can play. You’ll be the operational backbone of the women’s setup, working hand in hand with the Head of Women’s Football and acting as a trusted point of contact for players and staff alike.
We’re looking for someone who is highly organised, calm under pressure, and genuinely committed to player care and wellbeing. Experience in football operations is a plus, but what matters most is that you share our values and bring the right mindset to the role.

A note on who we’d love to hear from
Lewes FC is an equal opportunity employer and we actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds – including women, people with disabilities, and those from BAME and LGBTQ+ communities. We know that talent in football is often overlooked because of who you are, not what you can do. That’s not something we accept here.
Interviews begin 18th May. Both roles are open until filled, so don’t wait.
