About this Role
Radley College Boat Club is one of the top rowing schools in the UK and always features at the top of events such as the Schools’ Head, National Schools’ Regatta and Henley Royal Regatta. The Head Coach will look to continue and build on this history, striving for top placings at the three major events of the year, whilst supporting boys through the GB Trials process, ideally with a desire to continue their coaching internationally through the summer.
We have a proud history of international representation beyond the school, most notably with three current Olympians who will race in Paris 2024 and two current boys who became Junior World Champions last year in the Men’s Eight. Success is not just seen through medals at junior level but by boys continuing to enjoy the sport well beyond Radley.Radley College offers outstanding training facilities, including a picturesque 6 km stretch of the Thames, a top-tier fleet of boats, eleven coaching launches, a rowing tank, an ergo room, and a strength and conditioning centre.
The Head Coach will be a highly proficient technical coach with an excellent understanding of the rowing stroke and planning a training programme. They will be expected to fully buy into the ethos of sport at the College, which emphasises the values of sportsmanship and encourages widespread participation as well as the pursuit of extensive success at elite school level.
We are looking for a coach with a proven and consistent track record of high performance at national, and ideally, international level. They will hold a key role in maintaining and building on the school's reputation as one of the country's best rowing schools.
We offer a highly competitive salary, accommodation which is free of rent, council tax and water rates and a number of staff benefits.
