Preferred experience:
- Minimum 2 years coaching experience
- Good understanding of rowing and safety on the Tideway
- Launch driving (however we could support you in gaining this)
The role is anticipated to comprise approximately 12hrs per week and remuneration will be provided in line with experience. A breakdown of a typical week is shown below for reference:
- Two weekday evening training sessions (~2hrs each)
- Two weekend morning sessions (~3hrs each)
- Planning/admin (~2hrs per week)
We are looking for a coach who shares our vision to help the club grow and support all squad members, from novices through to the higher end of the mens and women’s squads, in reaching their maximum potential.
