Cheltenham College – Rowing Coach (zero hours)

Cheltenham College is looking to recruit a number of new Rowing Coaches for the start of the Rowing Season in January.

Applicants should have strong experience in rowing or in coaching rowing and they will be responsible for coaching a group within the squad to a high standard.

It would be advantageous if candidates had RYA Powerboat Level 2 or be willing to do on-the-job training in order to gain it. British Rowing Coach Level 2 and Minibus License would also be desirable but are not essential.

Although this is a zero-hours role, Rowing Coaches work approximately 10 hours per week during term time and normal working days are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, with a mix of land training at College and water training at Tewkesbury. Additional rowing sessions do occasionally take place on other days.

Rowing’s main season at College is in the Spring and Summer Terms (January until July), but it is also on offer for some pupils during all 3 terms, though your main period of work is likely to be in the main season.

Hourly rate will be dependent upon coaching level and experience, but is likely to start at £18.00 per hour, plus accrued holiday pay on top.

Prior to applying, if you would like to discuss any preliminary questions you might have, please email the Head of Rowing, Jed Greenhouse at: [email protected].

How to apply

Application forms and a full job description can be found on the College website.

Applications should be submitted in advance of the closing date, with a covering letter, to: [email protected]. Full instructions are on the College website.

The interviews will be at College’s main campus in Cheltenham and also at our Boat House in Tewkesbury where a school shuttle service will be provided.

Cheltenham College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in its recruitment and selection of job applicants and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check.

We are committed to equality of opportunity for all staff and applications from suitably qualified individuals are encouraged regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships. We encourage all candidates to ensure that College is aware of your particular requirements should you be invited to interview.

Application Dates: From Monday 12th December 2022 to Monday 2nd January 2023
