Are you passionate about business education and excited by the opportunity to teach within a dynamic football academy setting? Boreham Wood Football Academy provides learners with a distinctive environment where academic study, professional standards, personal development and sporting ambition come together. If you are committed to helping young people build the knowledge, confidence and employability skills they need for their next steps, we would love to hear from you.

As a Business Lecturer at Boreham Wood Football Academy, you will support learners aged 16 and above to develop strong business knowledge alongside the wider skills needed to progress in sport, employment, apprenticeships or higher education. You will bring business concepts to life through relevant, practical and engaging teaching that connects classroom learning with real-world careers and learner aspirations.

This is an opportunity to be part of a focused academy model where education and football work together to raise ambition, strengthen discipline and support progression. You will work closely with colleagues to create a purposeful learning experience that helps learners understand the business side of sport, develop professional behaviours and prepare confidently for their future pathways.
