(Leeds and Bradford Areas)
Up to £4,200 per annum, based on a full-time equivalent salary of £24,500 per annum (depending on skills, qualifications, and experience).
Part-time (6 hours per week, which will mostly be weekends).
Fixed term to June 2026 in the first instance; two positions available.
We are in the exciting position of expanding our Academy player recruitment team and we are looking for talented individuals to assist with live scouting processes, to ensure Huddersfield Town is at the forefront of player talent identification for our Foundation Phase and Youth Development Phase playing squads.
Reporting to the Head of Academy and B Team Recruitment, as an Academy Scout you will fulfil player scouting responsibilities by attending live football when required and making recommendations based on the Club’s playing requirements. The successful candidates will be required to work unsociable hours, including evenings and weekends, to fulfil the requirements of the role. This role will predominantly be based in Huddersfield and surrounding areas.
We are looking for applicants who have a genuine passion for scouting who are able to deliver bespoke solutions within the context of Academy player recruitment, and who are committed to excelling in a modern footballing environment.
Candidates are encouraged to review the job description and person specification before applying, as these contain full details of the role and the specific skills, experience, qualifications, and attributes we are looking for. Previous experience of talent identification in a football context is essential, combined with excellent communication skills, and the ability to manage your own workload. Applicants must hold the FA Talent Identification Level 1 qualification as a minimum.
You would be joining a Club with a proud history with the opportunity to positively influence players’ progression to a First Team environment.
We expect our employees to be a positive ambassador for Huddersfield Town AFC, and to liaise with a wide range of stakeholders in a consistently polite and professional manner.
We receive a high volume of applications for our vacancies and as such, we encourage you to ensure that your application details how you feel you match our requirements. The volume of applications received prevents us from being able to provide feedback at short-listing stage.
To apply, please create an account in our online application portal and ensure you complete the associated questions in full.
Please also highlight any factors that you would like us to consider, for example, if you have a disability or health condition that may require us to make reasonable adjustments in accordance with the Equality Act 2010.
Safeguarding
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and other stakeholders to share this commitment.
Applicants must disclose all previous convictions including spent convictions in accordance with the associated legislation. The amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (2013 and 2020) provide that when applying for certain jobs and activities, certain convictions and cautions are considered ‘protected’. This means that they do not need to be disclosed to employers, and if they are disclosed, employers cannot take them into account.
Guidance about whether a conviction or caution should be disclosed can be found on the Ministry of Justice website.
Equality and Inclusion
Huddersfield Town AFC is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community – a place where everyone can be themselves and in which everyone feels valued, included, and supported to achieve their full potential. We offer a range of family-friendly and inclusive employment arrangements, and we have a zero-tolerance approach to any form of discrimination.
We are committed to the redress of any inequalities by taking positive action where appropriate.
We are a Disability Confident Leader and welcome applications from disabled candidates. We are also seeking to diversify our workforce, particularly by gender and ethnicity.
