JOB DESCRIPTION

JOB TITLE: Equipment Monitor

REPORTS TO: Head of Kit
LOCATION: Compton
HOURS: 8.00am-2.00pm Monday to Friday plus weekends to cover scheduled training sessions

DATE: February 2023

We are Wolves; progressive, determined, bright, unified and humble. A pack that is hungry for

success. Wolves is one of the fastest growing professional football clubs in the UK, and also boasts

one of the richest histories in the beautiful game.

Formed in 1877, Wolves was a founder member of the Football League, and was one of the country’s

most successful sides in the fifties and sixties. During a two decade spell the Black Country’s most

decorated side won three First Division titles and one of its four FA Cups.

Fast forward to 2022, three seasons at Molineux saw Wolves clinch the Sky Bet Championship trophy
with 99 points, followed by a seventh-place finish in the Premier League, which included memorable
wins over Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea and Arsenal. The next season saw the team
complete a memorable double over the reigning champions, equal the previous season’s seventh place
finish and reach the quarter finals of the Europa League all as part of the ‘longest season’ in league
history, either starting before or finishing after all other teams.

But this post is about not what we have done, but what we will achieve next.

We take seriously our commitment to the safeguarding of children and adults at risk and to ensuring
that Wolves is free from discrimination and harassment.
