Lead Netball Coach

Millfield School is looking for a Lead Netball Coach to support the development and delivery of the Netball Programme.

As a Lead Netball Coach at Millfield, you will get to work in outstanding facilities with both indoor and outdoor courts and have support from full-time athletic development coaches as well as onsite physiotherapists and performance analysis. You will integrate into a fully engaged team of coaches with a common goal of giving each pupil the best opportunity to reach their full potential. Netball at Millfield also has strong links with a number of Super league franchises and hosts one of the Pathway centres at Millfield.

We're seeking an accomplished individual who holds a UKCC Level 2 qualification in Netball Coaching and has experience of coaching netball within schools, clubs, the England Netball pathway or a Super league franchise. A Level 2 Coaching award and a C award umpire is also desirable.

This is a two-year fixed term contract (with the potential to extend based on review) working 42 hours per week across Monday to Saturday during term time, plus 4 weeks during non-term time (a total of 36.6 working weeks). Due to the nature of the role, flexibility with hours is key as you may also be asked to assist on tours and away tournaments.

In return, you will receive a salary of £28,128.03 per annum (inclusive of holiday pay), along with an array of staff benefits.

About us

Founded in 1935, Millfield’s vision is to be the world leader for the development of children. There are nearly 1,300 students at the senior school (year 9 to U6), with a 3:1 ratio of boarding to day.

Our aim is to discover brilliance in every child and to immerse them in academic, creative and sporting opportunities to develop this brilliance. We offer an exceptionally wide range of courses and provide multiple pathways through the school to meet the needs of the individual child.
