We are looking for a full-time tennis coach to become a key member of our team at Ollie Lloyd Tennis, based at Coombe Wood Lawn Tennis Club in Kingston upon Thames.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic, ambitious coach who enjoys being part of a well-established team, takes pride in their coaching and has the personal skills to help players of all ages and abilities progress.
Your week will include a mix of adult and junior group coaching, individual lessons, term-time programmes and holiday camps. For the right candidate, there is also an opportunity to take a lead on our junior performance programmes.
We offer a full-time, self-employed coaching opportunity with an established weekly schedule, including some evenings and Saturday, at a competitive rate of £30–£35 per hour.

Ollie Lloyd Tennis runs the coaching programme at Coombe Wood Lawn Tennis Club, a wonderful, family-friendly and highly successful club in a fantastic location in Kingston upon Thames, on the border of Surrey and South West London.
Our coaching team includes four full-time coaches and more than six assistants, delivering thriving junior and adult programmes throughout the year.
Our ethos is simple: support players of every level and ability, helping them enjoy the game and keep improving. We are a friendly, motivated team who take pride in the quality of our coaching and the welcoming environment we create for our players.
The successful candidate will have plenty of opportunities to contribute, develop and become an important part of the team.
