Vacancy - Referee Mentor Co-Ordinator

The GFA is committed to supporting trainee referees by providing them with mentoring.

The Gloucestershire FA is looking to bolster our team with the appointment of a Referee Mentor Co-Ordinator.

The early stage of a referee’s career can often be the most challenging and will often determine whether or not a referee continues on their refereeing journey. With that in mind, Gloucestershire FA is committed to supporting trainee referees by providing them with mentoring support.

The Referee Mentor Co-Ordinator will engage with GFA staff, new referees, and league appointments officers to assist with delivery of the Association’s ‘Conversion’ target of trainee referees to fully qualified; the first five matches. The aim is to develop and increase the Referee Mentor workforce and identify any workforce training requirements.
