Academy administrator
Reading Football Club is looking to recruit a full-time assistant academy administrator.

Within our busy administration office, you will be responsible for the arrangements for Academy fixtures from under-9 to under-15 level, as well as administering all schoolboy player registrations under the supervision of the Reserve Team & Academy Secretary.

In addition, the Assistant Academy Administrator is required to provide administration support to the academy coaches, such as general typing, managing/answering correspondence and telephone calls, arranging travel and accommodation requirements, amongst other general administrative duties.

The core working hours of the Administration department are 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday.

This communication occurs in all forms, predominantly over the telephone as well as in person and by letter/email dealing with all administrative matters for Reading Football Club's Academy.

You should also be PC literate and demonstrate a confident and positive approach to team work. Accuracy and attention to detail is vital, especially when working under pressure. Training will be provided during the three month trial period.

To apply for this role, please send your CV and a covering letter to the Human Resource Department, Reading Football Club, Madejski Stadium, Junction 11 M4, Reading, Berks, RG2 0FL or email recruitment@readingfc.co.uk. Closing date for applications is Monday 5th January 2009.
