Grantham Tennis Club is one hour ten minutes from London on the train, 40 minute drive to Nottingham and 45 minutes to Leicester and Lincoln.

Work one day or seven days but weekend cover is required at times.

Start date of September 2026 or earlier if possible.

There is currently a waiting list of over 15 players wanting individual lessons. There are 5 to 10 hours of group lessons available from September.

On top of that, we have plenty of schools and nurseries work along with ad hoc community sessions which are becoming more regular than ad hoc.

And then with padel on coming to the club, we will need a coach for that programme.

We manage two park courts where we are ready to launch a programme but don’t currently have the coach available – this could be you!

What we would love to have is a new addition or several depending on availability, to come in, deliver group lessons in an already busy programme, take players off the ever growing individual waiting list and tick off all of the person specification below!

Please get in contact if you have any questions.
