IUSCA IQF Classification

This role appears to align with IQF Level 7, as it involves advanced scientific practitioner capability within an elite first-team professional football environment. The role requires interpretation of complex athlete monitoring and performance data, integration of GPS, gym-based testing, subjective and objective readiness measures, training load, fatigue, wellness, recovery, and return-to-performance information. It also requires communication of complex data to coaches, medical staff, and players, alongside practical influence on training prescription, interdisciplinary planning, injury risk reduction, and performance decision-making. Although the role does not appear to include primary departmental leadership, the level of expertise, complexity, autonomy, professional judgement, and master’s-level requirement indicate advanced practice beyond a standard Level 6 practitioner role.
