Professional football must better reflect modern Britain. Leeds United in partnership with the Premier League, are seeking to improve the diversity of football coaches in the professional game to make this area more representative of society and the playing population. As part of our commitment to improving diversity, we are proud to be able to support the Coach Inclusion and Diversity Scheme, Season 2024/2025, by providing a high-quality fixed-term employment opportunity to develop under-represented groups within the football industry. The scheme is open to coaches who are currently under-represented within English Professional Football - coaches from Black, South-Asian and Mixed Heritage backgrounds, and Women coaches from **all** backgrounds. We believe that having greater diversity helps the whole club to perform better both on and off the pitch.

The fixed-term employment opportunity will include coaching and observation across the Academy, and collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams. Successful applicants will enter the Premier League’s Coach Development Programme which is accredited by Leeds Beckett University.

- To provide each of the coaches with their own development programme to ensure that they are appropriately supported to become successful coaches and visible role models
- To assist in diversifying the workforce at Premier League or EFL Clubs, promoting a culture of equality, diversity and inclusion
