This is a fantastic opportunity to build a long-term coaching career at our flagship Swindon programme, based across St Marks — our floodlit site and one of the largest single site park tennis venues in the UK — and the developing Quarry Road. It is a vibrant, busy environment with huge demand, and one of the best places in the country to grow as a coach.

This is very much a career-building role. As we continue to develop both St Marks and Quarry Road, you will play a key part in shaping and growing the programme, with the support, structure and progression pathways of a national organisation behind you. For an ambitious coach, the scope to grow your hours, your earnings and your career here is significant.

Starting with a core block of group delivery, the role offers the opportunity to build additional hours and a strong private lesson base as you grow. On-court delivery consists of LTA Youth through to Adult group sessions on a weekly basis — a mixture of established sessions and new sessions you will help develop.
The successful candidate will deliver high-quality group coaching and can run a selfemployed coaching business alongside the programme.

Key Responsibilities:
• On-court delivery: deliver tennis coaching across LTA Youth Start, Tennis Express,
Adult sessions and Cardio Tennis.
• Develop school and club links to help grow the coaching programme.
• Build your own private lesson base: develop and run individual coaching on a selfemployed basis alongside the group programme.
Hours & Compensation:
• Part-time role, starting with a core block of group delivery plus the opportunity to add hours as the programme grows.
• Group delivery typically £16–£25 per hour, dependent on qualifications and
experience.
• Build your own private lesson base, typically £35+ per hour, with 100% of selfemployed individual coaching income retained.
• Additional income available from school outreach and camps.
• Both employed and self-employed arrangements are available.

Benefits
• Retain 100% of income from self-employed individual coaching.
• 5 weeks paid holiday (for employed coaches).
• A Personal Development Plan with NTA management, plus funded CPD courses.
• Workplace perks, including cinema and supermarket discounts.
• All necessary equipment provided.
• Racket Ambassadorship with Tecnifibre.
• Adidas sponsorship, including paid clothing and 50% off all Adidas products.

Swindon is on of National Tennis's flagship sites and is one of the largest single-site park tennis venues in the UK, and together with the developing
Quarry Road it makes for a thriving, high-energy environment with exceptional demand. As we continue to invest in and grow both sites, there is real opportunity for the right coach to build a career alongside them. St Marks is also home to our Park Social café and The Racket Factory, making it a genuine community hub for tennis. National Tennis is a Community Interest Company and one of the UK's largest tennis coaching organisations, with over 100 employed coaches delivering across the country.

We offer high-quality, affordable tennis across a portfolio of parks, clubs and indoor centres. We pride ourselves on offering coaches a fantastic base to build a career. That means guaranteed and supported hours, all your equipment provided, a structured Personal Development Plan and funded CPD, and genuine progression. Many of our senior coaches and managers started out on court with us — there are clear pathways into lead coach, head coach and operational and management roles as you grow.

For an ambitious coach this is a real step up: the security and support of a national
organisation, combined with the freedom to build your own private lesson base and grow your income. If you are hungry to develop, we will back you.
