Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach – Athlete Performance Programme [Supply]
The Athlete Performance Programme delivers strength and conditioning services to local athletes, aged 12-18, who represent their sport from club to national level. The sessions are delivered before school [7am-8.30am] and occasionally during the school holidays.

By developing our coaches’ knowledge and experience within strength and conditioning we create a strong framework for delivery, resulting in both improved sporting performance and overall health and well-being for our young athletes.
Coaches applying to this role must have the skill attributes to work within a team, as well as being proactive and versatile as a coach.
Applicants should hold a minimum of a Level 2 Gym instructor qualification.
