Strathclyde Sport is seeking a passionate, ambitious and motivated practitioner who has the commitment and drive to plan, co-ordinate, coach and quality-assure World-Class Strength and Conditioning (S&C) services at the University of Strathclyde.
The successful candidate will be degree qualified in a Sport Science discipline and have a significant track record of developing and coaching gym- and ‘field’- based S&C services to performance athletes across a variety of sports.
Job Description
Reporting to the Performance Sport Manager, the post holder will act as the discipline-specific lead for S&C, with responsibility for providing leadership to a small team of Physical Performance Coaches.
The Lead Physical Performance Coach will design, coach and evaluate S&C programmes for identified National Governing Body partners, and University of Strathclyde FOCUSport Clubs and Performance Sport Scholars. Whilst not exhaustive, this will include the enhancement of athletes’ strength, power, speed, agility and endurance whilst simultaneously reducing the volume of training days lost through injuries.
In addition, the post holder will develop and deliver lectures, practical’s and student assessments on the Sport and Physical Activity undergraduate course – Introduction to S&C module.
Due to the dual career nature of our student-athletes, the post holder must be willing to work evenings and weekends (and the occasional early mornings) during selected periods of the year.
