Rowing Coach

Emanuel School has an exciting opportunity for a well-qualified Rowing Coach to play a key role within their boat club.

As a Rowing Coach you will be involved in all levels of rowing at the school, providing high quality rowing coaching to students of all abilities. You will support all aspects of school rowing and the day-to-day running of the boat club, which will involve assisting with administration, regattas, training camps, logistics and minor equipment maintenance.

We are looking for a personable, confident and self-motivated individual, with a British Rowing coaching qualification and a RYA Powerboat qualification or a willingness to acquire these as soon as possible. You will also need to hold a clean driver's license, with the ability to drive a minibus and tow a trailer. Previous experience of coaching medal standard crews at a national level, including the National Schools' Regatta is desirable, but not essential.

This is a full-time, year-round post, working term time and school holidays. Flexible hours will need to be worked and regular weekend working will be required due to the events in the calendar.

Rowing at Emanuel

We are proud of the sport, rowing facilities and prospects of our school. We offer an impressive fleet of boats and a newly built performance gym for pupils, including 36 rowing machines split between the school and the boat house.

Emanuel has a rich history in rowing, with wins at the Schools Head of the River and Henley Royal Regatta. In recent years, girls and boys have produced solid results with two rowers in the GB process and 7 Eights racing at the Schools Head of the River, 5 crews finishing in A finals at National Schools and a win for our boys Pair.

Working at Emanuel

There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school.

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There's a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there's ongoing dialogue about the school's aims.

We aim to look after our staff too. We have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee's professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we're committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.
