Job overview
Fixed Term (one year)
Variable Hours / Annualised Hours
One (or more) Gap Year Rowing Coach(es) will perform an exciting role in the continued development of Sir William Perkins’s School Boat Club. The role(s) may be a first opportunity for those with a strong passion for, and understanding of the sport to develop their coaching skills, working predominantly with the younger rowers of the club.
A keen eye for detail and care over properly executing tasks (for both the post holder and the pupils under their watch) are essential, as is an awareness of the safety and wellbeing of the students at all times before, during and after sessions.
The Boat Club is on an exciting trajectory, with excellent backing from the pupil and parent body, as well as strong support and investment from the school. Whilst the majority of the responsibilities for the role centre around ensuring an excellent start to our rowers’ journey through Year 8 to Year 10, there is a fantastic culture of communication and integration of all coaches into the weekly goings-on of the whole club, and all coaches are a part of each and every success registered across age-groups.
There will be opportunities to develop the post-holder’s coaching by working with crews at both local and major national events, and the chance to be immersed in a developing school boat club with high-aims should be a major motivating factor.
The post-holder will be on a one year fixed-term variable hours/annualised hours contract with a flexible working schedule through the season due to varying demands on, and availability of the whole coaching team.
