BF is recruiting a Head Performance Coach, who will be responsible for overseeing the coaching programmes for designated athletes in both the Paralympic and Olympic performance programmes.
About the Role
The Head Performance Coach will be responsible for overseeing the coaching programmes for designated athletes in both the Paralympic and Olympic performance programmes. This will include supporting the development of appointed programme coaches and where appropriate, athletes’ personal coaches in the design, development and delivery of an athlete’s Individual Performance Plan (IPP).
The Head Performance Coach will act as the GBR coach for team events and be responsible for the coaching delivery during major international events, providing direct support to both individual athletes and their coaches in the competition environment to achieve the high-performance outcomes as identified in the world class plan.
The Head Coach will oversee, direct and deliver the daily training programme in the National Fencing Centre in Bath and be responsible for creating a high-performance environment by planning, agreeing and communicating weekly activities in advance with the athletes, coaches (including personal coaches), sparring partners and support service providers.
It is expected that the Head Coach will be committed to their own personal development where areas for support are identified through the annual performance review process, and where the ever-evolving high-performance environment creates a need for adaptation and change.
