Nutritionist - Men's First Team

The Role

We are looking for a Nutritionist to play a key role in supporting the day-to-day delivery of nutrition services to our Men's First Team. You will be entrusted to develop and deliver targeted nutritional strategies and interventions across key performance areas, supporting player rehabilitation programmes, and promoting optimal nutrition practices during periods of congested fixtures.

In this exciting role, you'll ensure that all practice is evidence-based and aligned with our nutrition and performance objectives, and you will also work closely with our Academy nutrition staff to ensure alignment of methodologies and the smooth progression of talented players through the pathway into the Men's First Team.

Who we are

We are one of the most famous clubs in world football, with a rich heritage and history of success – read more about our history, here.

Beyond that, we are passionate about our local community and, behind the scenes, we have a wide variety of opportunities and career paths for all. We have a very defined purpose: to act for a winning team, culture and community. We achieve this by ensuring we are courageous in the pursuit of progress, we champion our community and each other, and that we do the right thing (even when no one is looking).

Your day-to-day

• Create tailored nutrition programmes - you'll carefully design and deliver bespoke nutrition programmes for players, optimised for individual performance needs and objectives, and you will contribute to the ongoing delivery and reinforcement of our club's overarching nutrition philosophy

• Support rehab programmes - you will lead and assist in the nutritional management of players undertaking rehabilitation programmes, ensuring alignment with medical and performance objectives
• Partner with colleagues and external stakeholders - you will work with chefs and catering staff to maintain the highest standards of food provision across all environments, and you'll liaise with players' private chefs to ensure continuity of nutrition support when players are away from the training ground
• Embed nutrition into performance plans - you'll ensure that individualised nutrition advice and intervention is fully integrated with players' performance plans
• Champion growth and development - you will actively participate in our internal CPD programme and pursue opportunities to support professional development, and you will play a crucial part in our research and development projects, making sure practice is underpinned by the latest scientific evidence
• Oversee provision of supplements - you'll be responsible for the ordering, management and documentation of all supplements provided within our club, ensuring safe and compliant usage
• Assist with player body composition management - you will have crucial input into the monitoring and management of player body composition (specifically DXA scanning), supporting optimal health, development and physical performance capacity

What we are looking for

• Track record of working in elite sport - you're proud of your history of working closely with elite athletes and coaches, providing vital nutritional support, and you have a sound understanding of the physiological principles of sport and exercise
• Credible expertise - you hold a degree in a relevant subject such as Sports Nutrition, Sport and Exercise Science, Biomedicine and Nutrition or Physiology, and a post-graduate qualification in Sport & Exercise Nutrition
• Registration with a governing body - you're on the Sport and Exercise Nutrition Register (or able to be on it within 6 months) or you are present on an equivocal register with another governing body for nutrition
• Experience of working as part of a multidisciplinary team - you come with a proven ability to integrate into a team environment
• Best-in-class communication skills - you're equipped with excellent communication skills that can influence and motivate behavioural change, and you can articulate complex information in simple terms, depending on the audience
• Outstanding ability to build and uphold impactful relationships - you can easily establish effective relationships with players and incentivise them to prioritise nutrition
• Flexible and adaptable mindset - you're comfortable with the demands of elite football and you possess the ability to remain calm, respond positively to setbacks, reflect, learn and improve
