Are you a qualified tennis coach or know of anyone who is and is looking for work? If so then look no further!

The Coddenham Centre are seeking an enthusiastic qualified tennis coach to work independently with their manager and community to engage with all ages to coach on their courts, in particular a coach who would be willing to create an active tennis club/school for all ages and perhaps a holiday club for children.

The Coddenham Centre opened in 2004 by Princess Anne and the facility was transferred to a new Charity – The Coddenham Centre Charitable Incorporated Organisation in November 2019. It intends to ensure a sustainable future for the Centre and offer dedicated leadership and management to work with the community for the benefit of all.

They have two artificial surface tennis courts available all year round which can be booked direct through their interactive diary to both members and non- members. The popularity of outdoor tennis during the earlier lockdowns has increased their membership with regular users of the courts. The Centre has toilet/shower facilities available for coaching/club sessions.

For more information or to apply for the position please contact: Gail, the Centre Manager.

Interested parties must have relevant qualifications/insurance and DBS checks
