What to expect

Stockport County Women is entering an exciting new chapter. Following the transition from Stockport County Ladies, the Club has adopted a semi-professional model, established a dedicated home at Park Road and is investing in the people, facilities and culture needed to build one of the country's leading women's football programmes.

Working within the Women's team means helping shape that journey. Whether you're supporting performance, operations, medical services, analysis, communications or administration, you'll play a key role in creating an environment where players and staff can thrive.

No two days are the same. You could be supporting training sessions, coordinating matchday operations, working alongside coaches and support staff, managing logistics, or helping deliver the professional standards expected across every area of the programme.

As the Women's game continues to grow, so do the opportunities to make a genuine impact. This is a chance to be part of a team building something ambitious from the ground up - creating pathways, raising standards and helping establish Stockport County Women as a leading force in the game.
