• Leading and coordinating all on‑court Padel activities, ensuring clear communication with customers and staff.
• Managing club activities, including supporting and leading coach education; organizing coaching schedules, activator/ambassador schedules, meetings, and rotas; rolling out the Heroes Academy Programme and Access Padel framework, driving growth across both initiatives.
• Developing and managing club activities, including box leagues and club teams.
• Delivering high-quality coaching sessions.
• Overseeing coaching performance and quality assurance across the board.
• Understanding the financial aspects of running a coaching programme, ensuring it is both player‑focused and financially beneficial for the club.
• Innovative in player:coach and court ratios.
• Developing and implementing initiatives to increase participation and member retention.
• Expanding our outreach programme by working with local schools, community groups, universities, and colleges.
• Delivering and upselling corporate events.
• Promoting inclusivity and ensuring equality of opportunity within the club.

• Experience leading a team of coaches in either tennis or, preferably, padel.
• A valid LTA coaching qualification and accreditation, including First Aid and Safeguarding certification.
• Strong time management and organisational skills.
• Excellent communication skills, with high fluency in English.
