Assistant Director of Rowing

We are looking to appoint an Assistant Director of Rowing and Senior Coach, to join our existing team, from September 2026. The Assistant Director of Rowing is the logistical heartbeat of Claires Court Boat Club. Working closely with the Director of Rowing, you will be the person who translates the club's vision into daily reality. While you will maintain a high-profile coaching presence on the water, your core mission is to ensure that the club's administrative and operational frameworks run seamlessly. You are the vital link that connects our strategy, our equipment maintenance, and our coaching delivery into one cohesive team within the school. We are looking for a proven senior coach who finds genuine satisfaction in a "perfect plan." You are someone who believes that the best coaching happens when the logistics-the entries, the trailers, and the rotas-are handled with precision. To be successful in this role you must:

• Be an experienced coach who is preferably British Rowing Level 2 qualified or equivalent experience.
• Possess the emotional intelligence to manage vital relationships with club partners and river users.
• Enjoy using technology and systems (spreadsheets, apps, and rotas) to keep a complex organisation moving forward.
• Work collaboratively, supporting the Director of Rowing whilst empowering the wider coaching team
Above all, you must want the very best for our students and be prepared to put their needs first. You recognise the importance of educating the whole child within a broad curricular and co-curricular programme, and of achieving high standards. In return, we offer a positive working environment, experience within a highly successful rowing department, supportive colleagues and regular opportunities for professional development and training.
