Rowing Coach & Assistant Equipment Manager

We are looking to appoint a Rowing Coach & Assistant Equipment Manager, to join our existing team, from February 2025. You will coach students from our senior girls’ and boys’ and the Sixth Form. This is a full-time post working 35 hours per week all year round. Rowing sessions will primarily be in the afternoon. You will also be responsible for the preparation, care and maintenance of our boat club equipment with the support of the equipment manager.

This is an exciting opportunity for a forward-thinking coach, or a competitive and passionate rower, who is committed to their own development and co-creating an engaging environment for our students to learn and progress to a national racing standard.

To be successful in this role, you must:

•  Have relevant experience in a similar role, as a coach or be highly experienced and committed rower
• Be able to create a training programme for the teams you are working with
• Take full responsibility for the year groups and students you are working with
• Be patient, with the ability to inspire confidence in others
• Be able to work using your own initiative and have a commitment to working within the team
• Be skilled in building excellent working relationships with students and colleagues
• Be flexible in your approach to work, with the ability to work outside normal working hours, as some weekend and evening work will be required

Above all, you must want the very best for our students and be prepared to put their needs first. You recognise the importance of educating the whole child within a broad curricular and co-curricular programme, and of achieving high standards.

In return, we offer a positive working environment, experience within a highly successful rowing department, supportive colleagues and regular opportunities for professional development and training.
