The University of Birmingham Boat Club is looking to recruit a Senior Women’s Lead Coach.

Following the last five years of consistent growth and progress, the coaching team needs to expand to support the next phases of exciting development.

In 2026 The women’s squad ranked in the top 5 in the BUCS Victor Ludorum. We are looking to build on that position.

We are regular competitors at Henley Women’s Regatta and reached the semi-finals at Henley Royal Regatta 2026. We compete frequently at local regional events too.

You will work with the Head Coach to develop the performance athletes but lead the coaching and development of the intermediate athletes, bringing them to highly competitive levels in both sculling and sweep.

Duties involve coaching on Saturday and Sunday mornings between 0800 – 1300 generally in Worcester (or other locations depending on winter flooding), attending and contributing to online coaching meetings on Tuesday and Friday evenings (1900), attending races locally and nationally, and a foreign training camp at Easter. The coaching team each have their own responsibilities but support each other to help meet objectives and tackle challenges, alongside the committee.

The athletes also train on the water on Wednesday afternoons, and land train daily, but attendance at these sessions is not required.

The position is not paid but comes with a stipend to mean that the post-holder should not be out of pocket.

Coaching qualifications and experience not required, but significantly advantageous.
