Job overview

This is an opportunity for an existing Rowing Coach to play a key role supporting the running of a hugely prosperous, thriving, and motivated Boat Club at one of London's top schools.

The successful candidate will have proven coaching experience within a school environment, ideally supported by relevant coaching qualifications. You will be an inspirational coach contributing as a team player in a team coaching environment. Part of the role could include transporting both boats and pupils to events and camps, therefore a full clean minibus and trailer driving license is desirable (but not essential). The ability to assist with minor boat repairs may also be an asset.

Hours are determined by fixed school sports sessions and the successful candidate must be available to coach on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (term-time) between 2:00pm and 4:30pm and possibly one day each weekend between 2:00pm and 5:00pm. This is a part-time role, with approximately 6-12 hours coaching required per week.

Some coaching may also be required during the half-term and Easter holidays. Details of working hours will be discussed at interview.

About Westminster School

Westminster School is the perfect environment for happy and purposeful pupils. Pupils are intellectually, socially, ethically and politically engaged and our aim is to ensure that their enthusiasm for learning is developed further, allowing them to take full advantage of the opportunities presented to them in the future.

While the School is one of the foremost centres of academic excellence in the country, its commitment to academic life does not make it a hothouse for passing examinations. Pupils’ success at examinations and entry to leading universities is instead a result of their enjoyment of academic enquiry, debate and search for explanation, well beyond published syllabuses. It is important also that pupils have the freedom to lead on projects outside of the classroom and embrace a whole range of extra-curricular activities and interests. A host of pupil-led Societies take place every week at the School and pupils can choose to study an additional language, play an instrument or two, volunteer in the local community, row along the Thames, take part in plays and musicals, and much more.

The School’s ethos resides in the enduring values of the liberal tradition reflected in the 1560 Charter of Westminster’s Elizabethan foundation, where it is stated that: ‘the youth which is growing to manhood, as tender shoots in the wood of our state, shall be liberally instructed in good books to the greater honour of the state’. Whilst academic and cultural attainments are highly prized at Westminster, the School is fully committed also to nurture each pupil’s spiritual, moral, emotional and physical development and wellbeing – with a particular emphasis on drawing out individual talent wherever it lies – and to prepare young people for fulfilled private and public lives.’
