Everton Football Club is one of world sport's most respected and revered names – a by-word for innovation, professionalism and community. During the course of a glittering history spanning three centuries, we have been shaped and guided by our aspirational motto "Nil Satis Nisi Optimum" – nothing but the best is good enough. One of only three clubs to have been a founder member of both the Football League and Premier League, our Men’s Senior team has played more games in English football's top‑flight than any other, winning nine league titles, five FA Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Now in our state‑of‑the‑art Hill Dickinson Stadium – a 52,769‑capacity new home on the banks of Liverpool’s iconic River Mersey – we remain committed to developing and supporting teams across our Men’s, Women’s and Academy set‑ups that inspire and continue to compete at the highest level of the game.

Day‑to‑day operations are focused on delivering the footballing performance vision and strategy, both on the pitch and in the gym for all Men’s first‑team players. Reporting directly into our Head of Sports Science, the Physical Performance Coaches lead the planning and delivery of all aspects of physical performance across our first team, maximising performance, promoting athletic development and reducing the risk of injury.

Working in a trans‑disciplinary manner with the wider performance team, you will shape and deliver throughout the rehabilitation process. A solid team player, you will contribute towards the efficient and effective functioning of the department, helping shape the working culture and philosophy of practice, and ensuring impactful presence in the environment.

Building deep relationships with those you work with is essential as we look to build an accountable, professional yet personable environment. The selected candidate must also be flexible enough to rotate into a travelling performance team that supports our elite players through competitive fixtures, both home and away. You should be able to work discreetly under pressure, as part of a multi‑disciplinary team, and can evidence ongoing CPD in the major speciality of your work portfolio.
