Could you be Armthorpe Welfare's next manager? Here's the criteria for the top job at Church Street

Have you got what it takes to become the boss at Church Street?

Armthorpe currently lie fourth bottom in Division One of the Northern Counties East League having taken just four points from their opening eight games.

Here is the criteria for the job, as set out by the club themselves...

Armthorpe Welfare are now welcoming applications for the position of First Team Manager from interested candidates subject to the requirements below.

Our first team plays at step 6 of the FA National League System in the Toolstation NCEL First Division, whilst also competing in the FA Vase. We are a community club having recently added an Under 18’s team for this current season along with our adult Development Team which is now in its second season.

We have aspirations to grow the club further as a community club and the new First Team Manager will be expected to work with the Development and Under 18’s management with player progression wherever possible.

The new manager will have the short term target of stabilising our position in the league and improving results this season, with a longer term aim of a return to the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division and qualification for the FA Cup.

To do this, the manager will be allowed to recruit their own assistant/coaching staff as they see fit, and will be expected to work with the current playing squad (with allowance to recruit further players where needed) and work within the current travelling expenses budget. More detail will be discussed with those candidates invited for interview.

We are inviting applications from potential candidates who have the following:

Step 6 or above management experience (ESSENTIAL)

FA Coaching Badge Level 2 or above (DESIRABLE)

Further FA Qualifications (Coaching/Fitness/Safeguarding/DBS/First Aid etc.) (DESIRABLE)

Good working knowledge of the NCEL (DESIRABLE)

Knowledge of local football and player contacts (DESIRABLE)
