We are currently seeking a Strength & Conditioning Coach with prior experience working with performance athletes.

The main purpose of this role is to provide Strength & Conditioning services to athletes in our Tennis program. This will entail delivering one-to-one and group sessions to various tennis players ranging from professional to academy level.

The quality of your service delivery must be of a high standard, interdisciplinary, and integrated with the other strands of the Performance Support Team. It is essential to establish positive relationships with other practitioners and staff within the Physio and Sport Science Centre, as well as with tennis coaches.

The Department of Sports Development and Recreation at the University of Bath manages and organises a range of activities under the University's sports brand - Team Bath. The Department aspires to create a world-leading multi- sport environment delivering to elite athletes, staff and students at the University and the local and regional community. Based in the inspiring £35m Sports Training Village, the Department offers a wide range of high-quality sports activities, programmes, events, services and facilities catering for all ages and abilities.

In addition, we are recognised by UK Sport as one of only six Elite Training Centres, providing the training base for around 250 international level athletes. This is an opportunity to become part of a professional and progressive organisation at the leading edge of sport, health and fitness.

We are looking to appoint individuals who reflect our values of inspiration, respect, integrity, excellence, flexibility, self-improvement and teamwork.

This is a full-time position requiring 36.5 hours of work per week, ideally spread over five days, for a fixed-term period to cover parental leave until May 2025.
