Rowing is a sport that requires skill and technique in a boat as well as a dedication to land based training.
As an apprentice coach you will support the delivery of rowing on the river alongside our experienced rowing coaches and land-based training on the rowing machine and gym.
British Rowing will support your development as a coach enrolling you on to a Level 2 Club Coach award and allowing you the opportunity to shadow coaches working with Olympic pathway athletes.
Your qualification will be delivered by Lifetime Training, but you will be part of the Coach Core family - giving you access to loads of extra perks, including kit, training from partners such as UK Coaching and the chance to coach at local/regional sport events.
A background in sport of rowing is not required however, we would like candidates to demonstrate at interview how their prior experience in different sports or gym-based training could apply to the sport of rowing.
Rowing is an outdoor sport and rowing coaches will lead sessions in all weathers. We'll provide you with the right clothing to make sure you're safe and warm, but working in all weathers should be anticipated.
