Help Take Southwell City FC to the Next Level
We’ve grown from strength to strength – over 40 teams, FA 3 Star accreditation, fantastic facilities at Brinkley, and our senior team performing at its highest level ever. We’re now one of the largest clubs in the county.
But this success brings new challenges. We’re working with Southwell Town Council to secure a transformational £1.5 million 3G pitch for our community. Recent challenges with our current playing surfaces have shown us exactly why we need facilities we can properly manage to the highest standards.
We need fresh energy, new perspectives, and passionate people to help us tackle our biggest opportunities.
This is your club, representing your town. Whether you have professional experience, community connections, or simply fresh thinking and enthusiasm – we want to hear from you.
How You Can Help
We have opportunities at two levels: Executive Committee positions for those who want to shape the club’s strategic direction, and operational roles for those who prefer hands-on involvement. Many of our best volunteers started small and grew into bigger roles when they discovered how rewarding it was.
Executive Committee Positions
These roles involve strategic oversight and decision-making at club level.
Head of Seniors
Oversee our first team, reserves, and all senior football operations. Coordinate with managers and lead strategic planning for senior football development.
Head of Women’s & Girls Football
Lead all female football across age groups. Develop programmes, support coaches, and build pathways from youth to senior level.
Training Pitch Manager
The logistical mastermind coordinating training across all 45 teams. Schedule sessions, liaise with coaches, and ensure everyone gets the pitch time they need.
Sponsorship & Marketing Lead
Drive revenue and build commercial partnerships. Develop sponsor relationships, create marketing campaigns, manage our social media presence, and organise commercial events. Earn commission on new sponsorship deals you secure, making this role rewarding for those with sales and networking skills.
New Team Onboarding Officer
Be the friendly face guiding new teams through club processes – qualifications, registrations, kit, pitch bookings, referee assignments, and league procedures.
Community Liaison Coordinator
Build bridges between our club and local groups. Represent us at community events, develop relationships with local organisations, support council partnership initiatives, and organise outreach programmes.
Operational Volunteer Roles
These hands-on roles keep the club running day-to-day. Perfect if you want to contribute without committee commitments.
Media Lead
Tell our club’s story through match reports, social media posts, newsletter content, event photography, and website updates.
Match Day Committee
Ensure the smooth running of home fixtures – gate duties, hospitality, ground setup and breakdown, coordinating volunteers, and managing clubhouse operations.
Kit Manager
Coordinate kit requirements across teams, manage stock, liaise with suppliers, and ensure everyone has what they need.
Referees Coordinator
Arrange referee assignments for matches, manage relationships with local referee associations, and handle match day referee logistics.
Disability Team Coordinator
Support and develop our disability football programme, coordinate with coaches and families, and help create inclusive opportunities.
Credit Controller
Manage payment tracking and follow-up for fees, work with the Treasurer on financial administration, and help maintain healthy club finances.
What’s In It For You?
Develop real skills – Event management, marketing, leadership, project coordination, financial administration. You’ll gain valuable experience you can use anywhere.
Make genuine impact – Help shape the future of one of the county’s largest football clubs and secure lasting facilities for Southwell.
Meet great people – Join a passionate community of volunteers working toward shared goals.
Flexible commitment – We work around your availability. Whether it’s two hours a week or ten, we’ll find something that fits.
Be part of something special – This is a pivotal moment for our club. Help us achieve something truly transformational.
Not Sure Where You Fit?
We have roles to suit all backgrounds and interests:
- Business or professional experience? Consider exec roles like Sponsorship & Marketing, Community Liaison, or strategic positions
- Good with people? Community liaison, match day operations, or team onboarding
- Love football and want hands-on involvement? Match day committee, media roles, or referee coordination
- Tech-savvy or creative? Media lead, communications, or systems support
- Detail-oriented? Kit management, credit control, or training pitch coordination
- Passionate about inclusion? Disability team coordination
- New to volunteering? Start small with match day help or event support
No problem if you want to try something and see how it goes. Many volunteers started tentatively and discovered they loved it.
