Job Advert

Scottish Rowing is the Governing Body for rowing in Scotland. Our vision is a successful and thriving rowing community and our mission is to support and empower people in Scotland to enjoy rowing and achieve their potential.

Rowing has been one of Scotland’s leading Olympic sports over several cycles, consistently punching above its weight both domestically and internationally with Scottish rowers making up one fifth of Team GB at Tokyo 2020.

With the backing of sportscotland and British Rowing, Scottish Rowing is looking to build upon progress made over the past decade – acknowledging the development of university rowing in Scotland during this period - and evolve and diversify our performance pathway programme to meet current and future demands.

The postholder will play a pivotal role supporting the Lead Performance Pathway Coach to identify, recruit and develop new athletes with future Olympic, Paralympic or Commonwealth potential in the Performance Development Academy, whilst also supporting the day-to-day coaching operations of the wider Scottish Rowing Performance Pathway Programme. They will work to create more high-quality opportunities for talented individuals from all backgrounds to achieve their potential on the world stage and help to raise the bar at all levels across our rowing community.

This role would suit an ambitious volunteer or part-time rowing coach who is motivated for a full-time professional career in coaching. Experience of rowing and rowing coaching are essential. Significant personal development opportunities will be provided with the role.

  • Identify, recruit and develop new athletes with the potential to represent the GB Rowing Team in Olympic and Paralympic disciplines and / or the Scotland Rowing Team in Commonwealth disciplines, as part of the Performance Development Academy model. This will include attending GB Olympic Pathway National Development Camps, and working with associated talent ID campaigns, camps and other activities where appropriate.
  • Provide high-quality coaching and technical expertise to rowers training as part of a centralised performance pathway group at the Scottish Rowing Centre as well as remote support and in-situ programme visits for those identified athletes training within club programmes.
  • Play a key role in the delivery of a programme of national camps and other athlete development initiatives - such as the Scottish Rowing Junior Academy and Scottish Argonaut Projects - to support the progression of rowers in the under 19 and under 23 age groups.
  • Provide coaching and other additional support for the Scotland Rowing Team at the Home International Rowing Regatta and for any other event where selected to do so (Scotland and / or Great Britain).
  • Support other coaching activities across the Scottish Rowing performance pathway.
  • Attend GB Rowing Team trials, camps, and competitions as appropriate.
  • Contribute, where appropriate, to coach education within Scottish Rowing.

Other responsibilities include:

Participate in regular coaching and practitioner team meetings to review athlete progress, share updates and ideas, and discuss best practice.
