VACANCIES

Women's Head Coach​​​​​​​

About North Wellington FC

Women’s football is a genuine strength area at North Wellington Football Club with only a couple of clubs in Wellington having a complimentary TDP pathway of u15 &u17 players. Building on a history of strong competitive results in the Women’s competetive football, we are opening applications for an ambitious leader to step into the role of Women’s First Team Head Coach.

Applicants must be available and eligible to work in New Zealand, and hold (or be actively working towards) an OFC / NZF C Licence or equivalent qualification.

Based at Alex Moore Park, North Wellington FC is one of the largest community sports clubs in the region, bringing together nearly 1,000 members across more than 75 teams. Our club culture is guided by four core values: Inclusion, Respect & Integrity, Community, and Ambition. The Women’s Head Coach plays a pivotal role in showcasing these values, driving performance on the pitch while fostering a positive environment for homegrown talent to thrive.

Leading Our Premier Squad

The Head Coach takes full responsibility for the overall capability and game day performance of our Women’s First Team in the Womne's Capital Premier. This role extends beyond setting up tactics on matchdays; it is about building a competitive, resilient squad that embodies our club identity and presents itself cohesively both on and off the field.

Cultivating Pathway Opportunities

A core priority for the role is showcasing the strength of the NWFC development pathways. Working alongside our Director of Football, the Head Coach will actively integrate emerging players from our youth pathways and Talent Development Programme (TDP) into the First Team environment. This ensures our Premier squad visibly reflects our commitment to developing local talent.

Player Development and Team Culture

The Head Coach will establish a structured training, development, and feedback regime based around 3 contact sessions per week. Beyond physical preparation and tactical learning, there is a strong emphasis on continuous communication, offering clear selection rationale to players, and proactively driving high standards of respect towards game officials and opponents.

Strategic Off-Field Leadership

Success in this role relies on strong organizational management. The Head Coach will define and execute player recruitment strategies, map out close-season retention plans, and manage game day logistics. Operating autonomously while collaborating closely with the Director of Football, Club President, and Club Manager ensures football operations align with wider club goals and governance requirements.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking a candidate who brings a people-focused approach to leadership, backed by clear and frequent communication skills. You will be comfortable working collegially across club departments, seeing future possibilities for squad enhancement, and identifying practical ways to manage operational risks.

How to Apply

If you are ready to lead our Women’s First Team into its next chapter and help build a lasting legacy at Alex Moore Park, we want to hear from you.

To apply, please submit your coaching CV along with a cover letter detailing your coaching approach and experience to clubmanager@northwellingtonfootball.com

Senior Men’s Capital Division Coaching (Capital 1 & Capital 3)

We are opening expressions of interest for coaching positions within our Men’s Capital Division teams.

Rather than appointing fixed roles immediately, we are seeking coaches who want to engage in an open conversation about where their skills best align. We are looking to structure our leadership across our Capital 1 and Capital 3 sides dynamically, ensuring we put the right people in the right environments to drive performance, support player transition, and build a strong, cohesive squad culture.

Player development is central to our long-term vision at Alex Moore Park. Looking ahead to the 2027 season, we are recruiting dedicated Talent Development Programme (TDP) Coaches for our U14 to U17 age groups.

Working alongside our Director of Football, TDP Coaches deliver our structured youth pathway. You will lead ambitious young players through crucial development years, focusing on technical growth, tactical understanding, and character building in a supportive environment.

  • Focus Areas: Age-appropriate tactical training, structured feedback (players | parents) and preparing players for senior football progression.

  • Who We Are Looking For: Youth-focused coaches holding (or working towards) relevant NZF/OFC qualifications who are passionate about long-term player growth.

Goalkeeping Coaches (Across Club Pathways)

Goalkeepers require specialized support, and we are seeking Goalkeeping Coaches to work across a variety of club environments.

This role can be tailored to suit your expertise, spanning senior first-team environments through to youth development squads and TDP goalkeepers. You will design and lead position-specific sessions that build technical confidence, decision-making, and match readiness.

  • Focus Areas: Shot-stopping, distribution, tactical positioning, and specialized mentorship.

  • Who We Are Looking For: Specialist goalkeeping coaches or experienced goalkeepers looking to transition into coaching and mentor the next generation.

What You Can Expect at North Wellington FC

  • A Collaborative Environment: Work alongside our Director of Football and wider coaching network with access to session resources and guidance.

  • Coach Development: Support to progress through NZF coaching pathways and expand your credentials.

  • Values-Led Culture: Be part of a welcoming, community-first club anchored by Inclusion, Respect & Integrity, Community, and Ambition.

  • Contracted Roles: Remuneration and financial arrangements will be discussed directly with applicants based on the scope of the role.

Key Requirements & How to Apply

For all coaching positions, applicants must be available and eligible to work in New Zealand and hold (or be actively working towards) the appropriate NZF/OFC coaching qualification for the level.

If you are keen to join the coaching team at North Wellington FC or want to discuss where you might fit within our senior or youth structures, we would love to hear from you.
