Where Can I Find Football Jobs On The Internet?

If you are looking to get a job in football there are now hundreds of platforms where you can now look for a job. 

You’ll find that clubs have their own job and recruitment website where they regularly advertise opportunities. This will normally be all of the available jobs within the organisation so you’ll get a really good idea of what types of jobs are available within each club. Clubs will post full details of the job, role, salary and how to apply for the job. Being able to apply direct is the most effective way to apply for the jobs within a specific club. 

The functionality within each club job website does vary, so you might need to create a profile to apply for a specific job, but once you have a profile you might be able to set up specific job alerts that will email you any new opportunities. 

Don’t forget that club job opportunities regularly change. If you can’t set up an email alert that you need to come back to the website to see if there are any new opportunities. It is best to bookmark the websites of clubs that you are interested in. 

Football Organisations

Organisations like FIFA, UEFA, The Welsh FA and The English FA all have their own job portals where they advertise their current vacancies. You’ll be able to visit their website and find out details of new positions and apply directly.

LinkedIn

What’s next?

There are a huge number of platforms available where jobs are now posted and there are a wide range of positions available both in the UK, Europe and Worldwide. Clubs and organisations are now widely advertising their positions with job descriptions, role profiles, salary details and how to apply.

You need to make sure that you are in a position to apply with an updated profile/CV and if needed portfolio. You might want to consider updating your LinkedIn profile and ensure that you have an email account that works and you can use for your professional work.

Once you have everything in place it makes sense to track all of the applications (use a spreadsheet). You can then make sure that you know what you have applied for in case you get contacted, it isn’t a great look if you can’t remember what you’ve applied for. When you have all of your applications you can take time to review and look for any possible improvements in your CV and application process if you need to.

There will be lots of people applying for each position and competition will be fierce so consider this during the process. Be kind to yourself if you are not successful!
