Job Summary
This part-time, self-employed graduate role supports the delivery of strength and conditioning provision within the University of Derby performance sport programme. The role includes S&C testing, evening training sessions, athlete workshops, monthly reporting, support for interns, attendance at MDT meetings, and contribution to the wider Team Derby performance environment. The role is designed for a developing practitioner who is working towards professional accreditation and operating with support from the Strength and Conditioning Lead.
IUSCA IQF Classification
This role appears to align most closely with IQF Level 4, as it involves delivery of strength and conditioning testing, training sessions, workshops, monitoring, reporting, and contribution to a university performance sport programme within a defined scope. The role involves some independent working, but it is positioned as a graduate development role working alongside the Strength and Conditioning Lead, rather than as a fully autonomous practitioner role with full responsibility for programme design, athlete outcomes, or service leadership.

Salary and Role Alignment
Amber. The role scope itself appears broadly consistent with a Level 4 graduate development position, and the hourly rate may be reasonable for limited part-time delivery. However, the advert lists a postgraduate qualification in strength and conditioning or a related discipline as essential, which appears disproportionate for a Level 4 role. The post is also self-employed, limited to 5 paid hours per week, includes reporting, testing, workshops, MDT involvement, and support for interns, and expects voluntary attendance at in-house CPD workshops where possible. Overall, the qualification expectations and professional responsibilities appear to exceed the salary, hours, and developmental status of the role.
