About us
We are a community club which competes at the highest levels of the football pyramid, in the most exciting leagues in the world. Our ambition is to be a top ten Premier League club and a top four Women's Super League club. A commitment to high performance and high professional standards is at the heart of everything we do.
Ensure the pitches are maintained in an impeccable condition ready for our elite players to train on
The role will be responsible for carrying out work required on the training ground pitches and associated grounds and facilities to a satisfactory level whilst adhering to the highest standards of Health and Safety.

Your grounds maintenance background
You will be developed in your role and will be supported to attend suitable training courses such as tractor driving, spraying and ride-on mowers to keep your technical skills at the highest possible standard. The Albion are known for our culture and values leading the way. You'll work hard, but the great thing about football is that you¿ll see the results.
Ideally you would have obtained or be working towards a qualification in sports turf management and be certified in driving/operating agricultural motor vehicles.
Our values play a pivotal role in our success
Our values are not just a list of words we expect our colleagues to learn, but a set of filters through which we deliver to each other, our fans, our partners and our sponsors. As a team we live and breathe these values and celebrate them with TEAAM Brighton awards each season.
Our values are:
- Treat People Well
