In light of this, Aston Villa are proud to be supporting the Coaching Inclusion and Diversity Scheme (CIDS) for the 2024/25 Season.

CIDS is a Premier League positive action initiative to support the strategic aim of building an inclusive and diverse professional coaching workforce which will ultimately help the Club perform better both on and off the pitch.

The CIDS Coach will work within our Boys Academy Department which has been awarded the prestigious category one status accolade which demonstrates that we have the highest level of quality coaching, education, training and facilities for our youth football provision.

The scheme is open to Coaches who are currently under-represented within English Professional Football – these groups being individuals from Black, South-Asian and Mixed Heritage backgrounds and Women from all backgrounds.

The aim of the CIDS is to provide an opportunity which will provide coaches with an individualised development plan to increase their coaching knowledge and ability and to ultimately prepare them for a sustainable, long-term career in coaching professional football.

The CIDS will provide a fully integrated and intensive full time, 23-month fixed-term employment opportunity and development programme for the successful candidate. You will have exposure to coaching and observation across the Foundation (FP), Youth Development (YDP) and potentially the Professional Development Phase (PDP) as well as the wider Multi-Disciplinary Team including Physical Performance and Conditioning, Recruitment, Analysis and Administration.

You will enter the Premier League’s Coach Development Programme which is accredited by Leeds Beckett University. Upon successful completion of the programme, coaches will receive a Diploma in Professional Football Coaching. The development programme includes mentoring, workshops, peer learning, projects, and need-led access to FA/UEFA coaching qualifications.
