This opportunity will consist of volunteering to be part of the medical team at Darlington FC. The role will primarily be working with the Men's first team, but there may also be opportunities to work with the Women's first team and academy teams.

What You'll Do: 

You will support the head physiotherapist & lead sports therapist with the running of the medical department.

 

You will support the delivery of pre-session massage, mobilisations, taping, and strapping as well as warm-ups and cool downs for the players. You will be expected to have a 'can-do' attitude and take a proactive approach to working flexibly to meet the requirements of the football club. You will be offered support throughout your time with the football club from qualified and experienced members of the medical team.

 

There is an option to attend games (home or away) if you wish, although this is not compulsory.

Why You'll Love It: 
You will be gaining experience of working in football which you will hopefully find very enjoyable. If you have a desire to work in any sport, this experience will help you to stand out at interview and demostrate trasnferrable skills that will give you an advantage when trying to secure a position within a sports team. You will have a very supportive environment where you will be encouraged to learn and develop, and be encouraged to ask questions and learn from your mistakes. The club has a strong community ethos and our hope is that you as volunteers will become part of that community and will be welcomed by staff, players, and supporters.
What You'll Learn: 
You will learn some of the clinical and non-clinical skills required to work in a sports team at a semi-professional level. The skills you learn will serve you well as you move forward in your career in an amateur or professional environment, but also benefit your MSK skills too.
What We're Looking For: 
To apply for this position, you should first and foremost have a strong desire to learn new skills and work in the sporting environment. You should also be prepared to work flexibly and be able to commit to at Tuesday or Thursday evening each week.
