VACANCY: WOMEN’S FIRST TEAM head coach
Penybont FC Women play in the Genero Adran South (Tier 2) and achieved a creditable fourth place following promotion last season. The team finished this season on a high by winning the Hugh James SWFA Cup. Our ambition, under our 2030 Strategy, is for the team to achieve further progress and win promotion to the Genero Adran Premier.

· be skilled at individual player development and building strong, cohesive, and successful teams;
· be highly motivated to achieve success, and strong at organisation and communication;
· be skilled at appointing an experienced group of coaching and support staff.
Key responsibilities include:
· Leading training and matchday fixtures;
· Setting team strategy and principles of play, ensuring players understand their individual and collective roles and responsibilities;
· Recruiting, appointing, and managing assistant coaching staff, as well as overseeing the appointment of coaching staff for our Under-19 women’s team;
· Identifying and recruiting players to strengthen team performance;
· Liaising with the U19 team manager on emerging players with potential for first-team selection;
· Supporting team administration and fulfilment of requirements for the FAW COMET system;
· Representing the Club publicly, including media appearances, acting within our core values of Excellence, Trust, Honesty, Respect, Togetherness, and Inclusivity;
· Attending and contributing to meetings of our Football Operations Group.
