Athletic Development Coach in London

Exciting new opportunity for an enthusiastic and ambitious Athletic Development Coach to join LEH from September 2026. We are seeking someone who will drive the athletic development strategy within the sports department, ensuring it is accessible for all pupils. The successful candidate will aim to increase the provision of our current athletic development programme, teaching the value of strength and conditioning in a way that is both inspiring and engaging.

This is a permanent, part-time position working 20 hours per week from 12:00 – 5:00 pm / 1:00 – 6:00 pm, 4 days a week, 35 weeks per year (term-time plus 1 week). Additional hours may be required in line with departmental requirements. Flexibility to the core working hours can be considered for the right candidate.

What we offer: LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site southwest of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama. We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library resources.

How to apply: Applications must be made on the School’s own form; CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted. The closing date is 9:00 am on Tuesday, 16th June 2026. Interviews will take place in the week commencing Monday, 22nd June 2026. Applications will be considered upon receipt, and interviews can take place at any time. The school reserves the right to close this post at an earlier date should a successful appointment be made.

Safeguarding Statement: All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children. Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
