An amazing opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated rowing coach to join the Rowing Department at LEH as J14 Lead Rowing Coach. The successful applicant will be involved in all levels of rowing at LEH (including work with the J15 through to Senior Squads), with the emphasis on the development of the sport at J14 level. LEHBC is one of the top girl’s rowing schools in the country, with medals won at every age group this year at National Schools. This is an exciting moment to join the programme.

Building on recent successes and ambitious plans for the future, the successful candidate will work alongside an experienced coaching team, offering excellent opportunities for learning, development and contribution to a programme with high aspirations. This is a permanent, part-time role from September 2026, working 25 hours per week; across a 7-day working pattern (including evenings, there may also be a requirement to work additional hours to the stated core hours). The successful candidate must be available to work both days at the weekend to coach and accompany students to sporting fixtures.

What we offer: Our facilities on the Molesey stretch of the Thames are outstanding with a superb boathouse and impressive fleet of boats. 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 noon on Friday, 19th June 2026. Interviews to take place in the week commencing 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).
