IUSCA IQF Classification
This role appears to align with IQF Level 6, as it involves autonomous design, delivery, monitoring, and refinement of individualised physical performance programmes for elite tennis players. The role requires evidence-informed decision-making, use of diagnostics and monitoring data, interdisciplinary collaboration, and responsibility for supporting athlete performance outcomes within a high-performance environment. It also includes some Level 7-facing elements, such as contributing to the LTA athletic development framework and wider performance strategy, but the advert does not appear to describe primary staff leadership, service leadership, or responsibility for the decision quality of other practitioners.

Salary and Role Alignment
Green. The advertised salary appears broadly aligned with a Level 6 autonomous practitioner role in a high-performance sport environment. The role carries substantial responsibility for programme design, monitoring, interdisciplinary collaboration, and elite athlete support, but does not appear to require formal staff management or department leadership. The salary is also supported by the fact that a degree-level qualification is essential, while an MSc and S&C accreditation, or equivalent, are listed as desirable rather than essential. A minor caveat is that the advert gives an “up to” figure rather than a full salary range.
IUSCA Alignment Statement
This role has been classified by IUSCA based on publicly available information. The classification is intended to support professional transparency and help practitioners and employers understand the relationship between role scope, responsibility, autonomy, qualification expectations, and salary alignment. Applicants should review the original advert before applying.
