Join the team at the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA) at an exciting time in the growth of the game and play a key role in shaping the continuing evolution of our Personal Development and Welfare Programme (PDWP). As a Personal Development Manager (PDM) you will have responsibility for delivering education and support across all four pillars of our programme to male and female professional cricketers, county academy players and past players across the south region.

The PDWP aims to enable individuals to excel and develop sustainable performance within and outside cricket. Delivered through one to one coaching and mentoring, group workshops and online learning, the programme equips aspiring and professional cricketers with the knowledge and skills needed to deal with the specific demands of competing at the highest level whilst also preparing them for life after playing. As a leading professional players’ association, we support players within the men’s and women’s game and safeguard our members’ right to fair employment and playing conditions.

The Role:

• Providing one to one coaching and mentoring throughout a player’s career, with a special focus on periods of transition, education and lifestyle management, contractual support, wellbeing and welfare and appropriate signposting to expert referral partners when required.
• Facilitating personal development and educational workshops to current professional cricketers, county academy players and former players.
• Developing and maintaining effective relationships with key stakeholders in the game both within and outside the PCA (e.g. the ECB, County CEOs, Regional Directors, Directors of Cricket, coaches, support staff, family, agents and sponsors).
• Promoting the values and behaviours of the PCA.
• Being a member of a highly motivated, supportive and caring Personal Development & Welfare team.
• Reporting to the Lead Personal Development Managers.
