The focus of the role will be coaching on our junior programme, leading coaching sessions for children. The coaches are responsible for setting up sessions, registering players, leading excellent sessions every time and working with the wider tennis team on the quality of our programme to make sure all our juniors have the best possible experience and can maximise their potential with us.

2 hours per week will be invested contributing to our 10&U performance programme supported by our Junior Performance Head Coach. Areas of focus will include (but are not limited to):

- Performance player tracker – record player progress, match results and development milestones
- Competition support – identify suitable competitions for our junior players to enter (via their parents) and track results on our performance player tracker
- Working with coaches across the programme identify good practice and build it into our scheme or learning with Head Coach Junior Performance
- Player feedback – provide constructive and age / stage appropriate feedback to players

There will also be opportunities to supplement this core work programme on Tuesday and Thursday 9:30 – 11am (adult groups) and with individual lessons (delivered on a self-employed basis).

The University of Bristol Tennis Team are based at the Tennis Centre at the heart of Coombe Dingle Sports Complex, BS9 2BJ where they work with hundreds of players each week from beginners to BUCS and everything in between.

Our team are incredibly committed, reliable, passionate and knowledgeable and we’re looking for another LTA Accredited, Level 2 or 3 coach to join us on a permanent basis to help us deliver on our programme. If you have experience coaching children (and students – preferable) and are an engaging, passionate and knowledgeable coach we want to hear from you.

Salary £20,000 (for 22 hours per week). Please contact Andy for more details on the salary and other employment benefits (including LTA Accreditation, Coach Education Partner, gym membership and more).
