Trentham Boat Club – Adult Rowing Coach

Trentham Boat Club seeks a qualified rowing coach to lead our adult section.

Trentham Boat Club is seeking to engage a coach for the Men’s and Women’s adult squads.

The ethos of the club is to be welcoming to all comers. Whilst we have members who successfully compete at both local and national events, we also aim to cater for recreational rowers. We would expect the new coach to support all levels equally and encourage those new to the sport, who have been through our learn to row programme, to develop their skills with a view to retaining them as club members.

We are fortunate to have the use of the lake in the beautiful setting of Trentham Estate in Staffordshire. This provides very benign environment in which to practise rowing.

The position would commence as soon as possible. There are up to 22 hours per week available but exact hours and times can be discussed as we are happy to be flexible. The club is offering a competitive hourly rate.

Prior to starting work the successful candidate will have a Session Coach qualification as a minimum (it is anticipated the applicant intends to qualify as a Club coach in due course) and a RYA launch licence. Other requirements such as First Aid, Safeguarding, etc, may be arranged after starting work.

The position is on a self-employed basis. Current Coach membership of British Rowing is required for insurance purposes.

Prospective candidates should submit a CV, covering letter together with the names of two referees (one must be rowing related and other from a previous employer or client).

Please submit application and/or for further information or an informal chat contact the club chairman: [email protected]

Salary: Dependent on experience

Type: Part time

Application Dates: From Thursday 9th January 2025 to Monday 31st March 2025
