New Zealand Football is seeking applications for a Goalkeeper Coach for the Men’s U-20 and U-17 national teams (part-time contract for services). 

The key focus of this role is to develop and produce future All White goalkeepers in alignment with the national team’s style of play.

The Goalkeeper Coach is responsible for the planning and implementation of the technical programme for goalkeepers as directed by the Men’s U-17 or U-20 Head Coach, All Whites Head Coach, All Whites Goalkeeper Coach, and Technical Director.

You’ll need a recognised goalkeeping coaching licence, experience in coaching at elite youth level (preferably at national events) and a strong awareness of world’s best practice in goalkeeper coaching. You’ll have excellent communication skills, a track record of working successfully with people and will have demonstrated personal motivation to achieve excellence in all areas.
