The Opportunity
Salford is entering a new era. The club has a clear five-year plan, a bold vision for success on and off the pitch, and a commitment to building the people, culture and leadership needed to get there. This is your chance to shape that future from the inside.
The Player Support and Engagement Manager role is central to delivering a consistently positive player experience across the First Team and Professional Player group, supporting players from pre-arrival through their time at the Club and into any transition periods.
We are seeking a highly organised, proactive and adaptable individual who understands the importance of creating an environment where players are fully supported off the pitch and able to focus on performance. The successful candidate will be trusted to ensure player needs are met quickly and professionally, working closely with Football Operations and coaching staff to remove any barriers that could impact performance.
The role requires a strong communicator with the ability to build trusted relationships with players, staff and families, while maintaining appropriate professional boundaries at all times. You will handle sensitive situations with discretion, demonstrate sound judgement, and maintain absolute confidentiality.
Operating across multiple departments as part of a multi-disciplinary team, you will be a calm, resilient problem-solver who is comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-moving environment. A flexible approach is essential, including willingness to work evenings and weekends and to travel regularly with the First Team.
Knowledge of the football environment and local area would be advantageous. Full UK driving licence, access to a vehicle, and successful completion of an enhanced DBS check required.
The Club is fully committed to safeguarding all children, young people and adults at risk who engage in our activities. We recognise that we have a responsibility to safeguarding the welfare of vulnerable groups and we have policies and procedures in place which all of our staff are trained in and are expected to adhere to as part of their employment. An offer of employment will be subject to receipt of satisfactory DBS check (depending on the role), satisfactory references and proof of eligibility to work in the UK.
