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.
Working as part of the multidisciplinary Performance Sports Team, the post-holder will provide S&C coaching services to identified external partners, and University of Strathclyde FOCUSport Clubs and Performance Sports Scholars.
The ideal candidate will be a passionate and committed practitioner with aspirations of delivering world-class S&C services. Furthermore, you should possess relevant academic qualifications and experience in delivering both gym and field-based S&C services.
This will be an annualised contract, weighted more towards term-time, with less time required during the summer months.
Job Description
Reporting to the Lead Physical Performance Coach, the post holder will work as part of the successful S&C team.
The role will support Strathclyde Sport’s strategic objectives to achieve greater year-on-year success in BUCS competitions whilst supporting the development of individual athletes through practical delivery of S&C services to external 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.
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.
