League Operations Manager – South London Girls Football League

Organisation: South London Girls Football Academy
Salary: £20 per hour
Location: SE12 8AW
Contract type: Permanent (Part time)
Closing date: 4 November 2026
Job Description: Sunday mornings | £20/hr (£50 per Sunday) | Colfe’s Leisure Centre, London SE12 8AW | Starts Sunday 8 November

Boys in South London start playing matches at Under 7. Until recently, girls had nowhere to play.

We built the South London Girls Football League to change that. Now we need the person who makes it happen every Sunday.

The role in one line: you turn an empty all-weather pitch into a matchday for 30–40 young girls, and you’re done by 1pm.

Why you’ll enjoy it

- Done by 1pm. 10:30am–1pm, and the rest of your Sunday is yours.
- Rain or shine, it goes ahead. All-weather central venue: no boggy pitches, no last-minute call-offs, no lost pay.
- Real impact. Without this league, these girls wouldn’t be playing matches at all.
- Same place, same time, every week. Easy to plan your life around.
- Cover allowed. Can’t make a Sunday? Send an approved substitute who knows the set-up.
