Old Silhillians Hockey Club is continuing its growth and development and is looking for a full-time coach to support the school outreach programme it is developing along with coaching within the club and also the Warwickshire County programme.
The ideal candidate will be an enthusiastic, adaptable and driven hockey coach, ideally with experience of coaching in schools. The coach will need to complete all necessary training and DBS checks to meet the England Hockey Planning Safe Hockey guidelines but can be supported with all the necessary elements if required.
The role will also involve coaching in Sports Camps during all school holidays and potentially running other activities such as sports parties, plus the club is looking into how multi-sports clubs can be run in nearby areas to provide sporting opportunities to those who cannot access it regularly at the moment.
The role will pay for around 20 hours of work per week on average (though the weeks working on the Sports Camps will be busier, and the other weeks potentially quieter), plus then provide completely free accommodation during the hockey season, and significantly reduced rent during the Summer. There will also be opportunities for other work within the club and an expectation that the right candidate will also play, as well as coach, with Old Silhillians HC (who have both Mens and Womens teams in Midlands Division 2). The accommodation will be in a 4-bedroom house in Olton, and will be sharing with 3 other coaches/teachers, but with your own room and a large shared living space.
The role will also be incentivised to grow its breadth and any additional funding obtained will also be rewarded, making it an ideal first job for a sports graduate looking to make a career out of sports coaching, without selling their soul to a Private School and all that demands! The hockey club is also keen to partner with a local company providing funded Apprenticeships, and also work alongside Silhillians RUFC and the work they are also looking to run in the local community - so a background in rugby would also be advantageous.
