AFC Wimbledon Women
This is a voluntary board role - most activity is carried out remotely, with occasional meetings and matchday events in the Wimbledon area.
About Us
AFC Wimbledon Women are part of AFC Wimbledon – a proudly fan-owned club with a remarkable story of resilience and community spirit. After joining AFC Wimbledon in 2003, the Women’s team has risen steadily through the football pyramid and currently competes in the FA Women’s National League Southern Premier Division (Tier 3).
We represent the same values that define the wider club – Togetherness, Resilience, and Constant Improvement – and play a vital role in inspiring the next generation of girls and fans across our community.
Our focus over the next few seasons is on building a sustainable, competitive Tier 3 team, strengthening our pathway for local talent, and deepening our connection with supporters, partners, and the wider game.
The Opportunity
Women’s football continues to grow rapidly, with rising attendances, professional standards, and investment across the game. For fan-owned clubs like AFC Wimbledon, that growth brings both opportunity and pressure to stay competitive on leaner resources.
We’re now entering a crucial phase focused on consolidation, sustainability, and growth - strengthening our football operations, deepening our community impact, and expanding our commercial base so the team can continue to thrive in an evolving and increasingly competitive environment.
As a member of the Women’s Board, you’ll help guide that journey: shaping strategy, supporting the General Manager, and using your expertise and networks to help AFC Wimbledon Women remain a leading, community-owned club in South West London.
This is a chance to make a tangible difference to women’s football, working with a small but passionate team committed to doing things the Wimbledon way: with togetherness, resilience, and constant improvement at our core.
Role Description
To help guide the strategic direction, governance and growth of AFC Wimbledon Women, ensuring the team is sustainable, competitive, and aligned with the wider club and community.
Key Responsibilities
Time Commitment
Term
Person Specification for New Board Members
We’re looking for people who share our commitment to women’s football and the values of AFC Wimbledon (Togetherness, Resilience, and Constant Improvement), and who can bring energy, perspective, and expertise to a small but ambitious team.
1. Demonstrate a commitment to the growth of women’s football and the values of AFC Wimbledon, a fan-owned, community club.
2. The ability to think strategically, contribute ideas, and bring constructive challenge in a positive, collaborative way.
3. Professional expertise or lived experience in at least one of our priority areas (listed below).
4. Willingness to offer occasional light-touch support between meetings — for example, checking progress with staff, offering advice, or helping troubleshoot a challenge.
5. Confidence to act as an ambassador for AFC Wimbledon Women with fans, partners, and the wider game.
6. Respect for good governance and boundaries — supporting staff and volunteers without crossing into day-to-day management.
Priority Areas of Expertise
Commercial & Partnerships – Support the General Manager and commercial team with sponsorship, business development, and revenue growth. Open doors to contacts, advise on offers, and help monitor progress.
Marketing & Fan Engagement – Help shape strategy to grow attendances and fan engagement. Share communications insight, offer creative ideas, and help track progress against agreed KPIs.
Football & Performance (Women’s Game) – Provide guidance on player welfare, coaching structures, and pathway development. Ideal for ex-players, coaches, administrators, or performance professionals with experience in the women’s game.
To apply
To apply, please send your CV and a short covering letter outlining:
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. You don’t need to have worked in football before — what matters most is a genuine commitment to the growth of women’s football and to AFC Wimbledon’s community values.
Please send your application to Tammy Parlour MBE, Chair of the Board, on tammy.parlour@afcwimbledon.ltd.uk
All applications must be received by 5pm on Wednesday 26th November 2025, with interviews taking place in early December.
