Strength & Conditioning Coach and Rugby Coach
Sherborne School is seeking a well-qualified, enthusiastic and innovative professional to lead the Strength and Conditioning programme. The post holder will work throughout the age ranges to educate and enhance athletic performance with support from a number of qualified and dedicated colleagues who work within the new Sports Centre which opened within the past year, containing a state of the art fitness suite along with a dedicated performance gym.
Sport plays a big part in the lives of the boys and increasingly this is linked to their health and well-being plus their physical development. All boys participate weekly, and most will represent the school in inter school fixtures on a regular basis. The Head of Strength and Conditioning will also be pivotal in assisting in the development of our performance athletes; we have many boys involved in external representative pathways in rugby, hockey, cricket plus some of the more individual sports.
This hybrid role also includes time coaching rugby with an emphasis on forward play. The post holder will be proficient in developing the more technical aspects of scrum and line out as well as other more generic principles of play. As the flagship sport in the Michaelmas Term, rugby plays a big part in the lives of many boys at the school.
Closing date: 9.30am on Monday 12 May 2025
