National Coach - Wheelchair Performance Pathway in Nottingham

Our vision is ‘Tennis Opened Up’, and our mission is to transform communities through tennis, focusing on three areas – making tennis welcoming, enjoyable and inspiring to everyone.

The Wheelchair Performance Pathway plays a critical role in this mission, and we are seeking a high-impact, experienced, and highly credible National Coach to ensure Great Britain remains one of the most respected nations in the world for player development. This includes delivering a world-leading Elite, Pro Scholarship Programme (PSP), Pro Transition Programme (PTP), Wheelchair Access and National Age Group Programme (NAGP) to support and develop wheelchair tennis players to progress from the early stages of performance competition through to an elite international level, with the ultimate ambition being for British players to win Grand Slam titles, Paralympic medals and World Team Cup titles.

The National Coach will case-manage any identified Wheelchair Performance Pathway programme players and, within that, have direct responsibility for overseeing and quality-assuring the technical, tactical and performer development content of supported player programmes within an interdisciplinary environment. The role requires support as a player’s case manager during daily training activities at the NTC in Roehampton or any other player’s home base, working on and off court with the player and their lead coach and support team. It also requires organising training, preparation camps, and tournament support during targeted competitions such as Grand Slams and other ITF Wheelchair tournaments and within specific medal-focused events such as the World Team Cup and Paralympic Games.
