Fitzroy Football Club (incorporating the Fitzroy Reds) is looking to recruit volunteers to join a pool of trainers for our teams in the Victorian Amateur Football Association (VAFA) - Seniors, Reserves for both men and women as well as Under 19s and three Thirds teams (one women and two men).
As a trainer you will be responsible for strapping and massage as well as working with physio and fitness coaches on injury prevention and rehab. These positions are ideal for physio, osteo and exercise science students as well as people with an interest in sports massage or sports medicine (hours can count towards practical hours as part of study).
We require trainers for pre-season training (until end of March) on Monday and Wednesday nights (6pm to 8pm) and during the season (starting April) mid week training 6pm to 8pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Match day times range from 8.30am-11.40am (occasional), 10.30am-2pm, 12.30pm-5pm or 10.30am-5pm on Saturday and an occasional twilight game 3.30pm-7pm. Rostering is flexible e.g. can just do mid-week training or games.
Must have at least Level 1 Sports Trainer qualification, be willing to obtain before 31 March or be qualified practitioner. Must also have current CPR and Sports First Aid certificates.
All trainers will be required to have a Working with Children Check and adhere to the Club's Child Safety Commitment.
