Lancashire FA are currently seeking an experienced Groundsperson to help maintain and enhance the quality of their facilities and grounds, ensuring they consistently meet the highest standards, in line with legislative and environmental compliance and best practice.

The ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for grounds maintenance, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to delivering exceptional standards across all aspects of site care—from pitch preparation to equipment upkeep.

This is a full-time, permanent role based at The County Ground in Leyland, with occasional evening and weekend work, and some travel across Lancashire. The role offers a salary of £22,223 and includes extensive benefits.
