Rowing Coach

We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. Acknowledging a lack of ethnic diversity within our staff community, we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates for this role. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.

We are now seeking to appoint a Part Time Rowing Coach to start in January 2025, coaching 20 hours per week. The successful candidate will be highly motivated, passionate and eager to build on the recent accomplishments of the school boat club that places pastoral support at the centre of its coaching. Experience of developing young athletes within a school programme progressing to Junior GB selection will be highly desirable.

The role will demand excellent planning, communication and administrative skills, with an ability to adapt coaching style to the individual, think ambitiously and work collaboratively and flexibly within a strong team environment.

Good judgement and sound Tideway knowledge will be essential, as will creativity in managing pupils of varying abilities in changeable conditions. A high level of responsibility will be given to implementing the programme and ensuring the consistent development of pupils from junior to senior level. Close communication will need to be established and maintained with sports, academic and the school pastoral team.

RYA Level 2 Powerboating and a trailer and/or minibus driver's licence are desirable.
