Club Development Lead Coach
Join a Growing Performance & Development Programme in North London
Finchley Manor is looking for an ambitious and enthusiastic Level 3 or 4 Coach (or Level 3 working towards Level 4) to come on board as a Club Coach, helping to build and lead both our Junior Development and Adult Programme alongside the Head Coach and Directors.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated coach who wants to be part of a progressive club environment with genuine growth potential.
⸻
🔥 The Opportunity
* Starting rate: £30/£35+ per hour (depending on experience)
* Guaranteed start: 10–15 group hours per week
* Potential: Build towards 30–35+ hours per week (groups + individuals)
* Opportunity to work with performance players
* Involvement in shaping the junior pathway & adult programme
* Key role in developing club culture and team environment
⸻
🎯 Role Responsibilities
* Help lead, deliver and grow the Junior Development Programme
* Help lead, deliver and grow the Adult Club Programme
* Assist in running and managing Junior Teams
* Support and expand our Schools Programme (currently partnered with 2 schools, looking to grow further)
* Deliver Holiday Camps during school breaks
* Work weekend mornings (Saturday & Sunday) within development and member sessions
* Contribute to club competitions and team tennis
⸻
🚀 Why This Role Stands Out
This is not just a “group hours” role.
It’s a chance to:
* Be part of building something long-term
* Grow into a leadership position
* Develop all level of players
* Expand school links
* Help shape the future direction of the club
For the right coach, this is a pathway role — not just a coaching slot.
🏟️ The Venue
Finchley Manor offers excellent facilities and is investing in further development:
* 10 outdoor tennis courts
* 6 floodlit courts (with works underway to floodlight the remaining 4)
* 5 all-weather courts, with expansion planned
* Indoor squash courts – ideal for Mini Tennis & bad-weather training
* Strong and growing membership base
* Ambition to expand junior, adult and school pathways significantly over the next 2–3 years
👤 We’re Looking For Someone Who Is:
* LTA Level 3 or 4 (or Level 3 actively working towards Level 4 in the next 2 years)
* Enthusiastic, proactive, and eager to develop
* Strong communicator with parents, juniors, and adults
* A strong playing standard — has played to international/National or high county level and is capable of competing in the club’s 1st Teams
* Passionate about building a long-term programme, not just delivering hours
