The role requires a flexible approach to working with attendance at Head and Regatta racing as well as weekend training. 

Borlase Rowing Club was established in 1921 and is known for its competitiveness in rowing at national and international level. The club has enjoyed substantial successes at the National Schools’ Regatta and Junior World Championships and is particularly associated with success in The Fawley Challenge Cup at Henley Royal Regatta. This is an exciting time to join the boat club.
