Golf Fitness Coach – Open to Golfers, PTs, and S&C Coaches

We’re looking for a Golf Fitness Coach to join our team in Dronfield and play a meaningful role in helping golfers move, feel, and play better for longer.

This is a part-time employed role (10–20 hours/week), but we’re open to full-time straight away for the right person. Either way, our goal is to transition to full-time as soon as possible — this is a long-term opportunity, not just a few sessions a week.

You’ll work closely with Jon Hodgkinson and our small, committed team to deliver an exceptional experience to golfers — helping them regain distance, move pain-free, and enjoy the game they love for as long as possible.

It’s a rare opportunity to build a deeply rewarding career in the fitness space — with the chance for the role to evolve as the business continues to grow.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Delivering 1-on-1 and small group coaching sessions

• Leading new client assessments and onboarding

• Creating and updating personalised training programmes

• Tracking progress and maintaining clear client notes

• Supporting events (e.g. speed and mobility assessments)

• Optionally: contributing to remote programming or content creation

✅ This Role Is For You If…

• You love both golf and fitness

• You’re warm, grounded, and build trust easily

• You’re motivated, organised, and don’t need chasing

• You enjoy working with older clients — not just elite athletes

• You take pride in doing great work, every day

• You’re looking for a role where you can grow alongside the business

❌ This Role Isn’t Right If…

• You want to build your own business on the side

• You’re only interested in high-performance sport

• You’re not open to early starts or occasional weekends

• You need constant direction to stay focused

• You find it difficult to connect with older, affluent clients

Who We’re Open To

We’re open to two profiles:

• Certified PTs or S&C coaches who play golf

• Golfers with great presence and communication, who want to become qualified coaches (we’ll support this path for the right person)

You don’t need to know everything — but you do need to bring energy, learn fast, and care about the people you coach.

What We’re Offering

• Part-time employment (10–20 hours/week) with a clear path to full-time — or the option to start full-time immediately for the right person

• £26,000–£31,000 FTE — pro rata based on hours and experience

• A premium, golf-specific training environment — including a private simulator

• Clients who show up, stick around, and genuinely want to improve

• Mentorship from one of the UK’s most experienced golf fitness coaches

• Support with professional development and qualifications

• A clear path to full-time employment — we want this to become your career, not just a side gig

• A rare opportunity to build a meaningful, financially rewarding career in fitness

• The chance to grow into a key team member as the business expands

• Private medical insurance
