Head Performance Coach

The Royal Wolverhampton School Swimming Club (RWSSC) has a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Head Performance Coach. We are looking for a strong, motivated leader able to develop and inspire swimming and training to help you decide on whether this is the programme for you it is important to understand where we have come from and where we are going. We have trained successful athletes with the support of our highly experienced coaches. The current Head Coach has moved on to an exciting role in swimming having led team elements of the programme for the past 8 years and the Elite Programme during the past year. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and well experienced coach to lead the programme and further develop the group of swimmers and seek highly motivated to the squads to ensure continued progress and success of the RWS Elite programme. The school is built upon a combination of things, its unique heritage, record of academic excellence, outstanding educational environment, and the full support and endorsement of our Patron, the HRH Duke of Edinburgh. The club is increasingly recognised as being one of the top-level performance swimming clubs in the country despite training in a 25-metre pool. This reflects the quality of the coaches, their programmes, the commitment of our swimmers as they progress through to the Elite Squad. The environment created by being closely associated with the school is critical. Many swimmers board at the school but it also attracts aspiring swimmers from other schools. The strong relationship between the School and Swimming Club allows our values and ethos to permeate throughout, including the aspirational culture supported by a positive strong safeguarding relationship between our Safeguarding Designated Lead and Swim England. We are committed to supporting aspiring swimmers from all backgrounds, recognising they embed into The Royal’s rich and diverse experience and develop into superb role models for the whole school community. We welcome your application to be part of our community and would love you to visit and see the club and school in action or call us to talk things through.
