A Bit About The Role
British Rowing’s vision is to lead a sport that welcomes everyone by creating opportunities to participate, regardless of goal, age, background or ability. The Performance Development Coach (Based at Lea Rowing Club in East London) will identify, recruit and develop new athletes—predominantly Juniors and students/U21s—with future Olympic potential who might otherwise not enter rowing or excel within a traditional pathway.

Flexibility with working hours, a love of outdoor water settings, and a desire for personal development are also important.
Mandatory Requirements
Relevant coaching experience, a strong understanding of athlete development, and the ability to build a high‑performance rowing environment are essential. Candidates should be ready to engage with diverse communities and identify emerging talent.
