Working alongside our Talent Centre age group lead coaches, successful candidates will oversee the annual coaching programme for one or more age groups, liaise with the Coach Coordinator and Group Captain(s) regarding coach and volunteer support/allocations and manage weekly team selections. Weekly availability for our Sunday training/fixtures programme is essential and for midweek sessions would be desirable (but not essential).
London Wayfarers HC are looking to recruit enthusiastic, inspiring and skilled coaches to join our Talent Centre coaching team. The club has gone from strength to strength in recent years and caters for players of all abilities and levels of experience from complete beginner to national league. We have one of the largest junior sections in the country and run 18 senior teams (including a mixed team). The ambition of the club was recently recognised by England Hockey with the awarding of their 2019 “Club of the Year” award. We hold the nationally-recognized, cross-sport, ClubMark status and have also recently been accredited as one of England Hockey’s Talent Centre clubs.
Outlined below in this job description are the desired credentials of ‘ideal’ candidates. However, we are looking to broaden the pool of role models for our young players. So, for female coaches (or aspiring female coaches), or those from minority backgrounds, if you would potentially be interested in joining our coaching team but do not fully meet the criteria of the role(s), we would still love to hear from you and to consider your application. It is worth highlighting that the club offer funding for coaching qualifications and relevant training.
These positions could be combined with other coaching roles within the club (junior/senior) and/or additional coaching opportunities within our wider community through established club links. Further opportunities to be discussed during the application process.
