Women's Performance Coach (1st & 2nd XI)

The Club
West Herts (West Herts Hockey Club) is a thriving club based in Watford with excellent pitch and clubhouse shared with Watford Grammar School. Watford is a commuter hub with easy public transport links to travel South into London and beyond, or to access the North of the country. The club is minutes away from the M25, A41 and within easy reach of the M1.

The Role
The women's section are looking for a new coach to bring fresh impetus to a side and to build a strong 2s side who can form part of a combined 1s/2s squad. We would expect the coach to make full use of our VEO camera and provide video analysis to the group and individuals. 

Responsibilities
The coach will have responsibility for all aspects of first team and second team outdoor training and development, including Saturday coaching of the 1s side (if possible). 

Is it for you?
Our Women’s 1’s (and 2s) are a mix of experienced and younger players so the coach we seek will need to adaptable, organised and have the ability to coach and develop tactics and skills to a broad range of players. We want somebody who’s social, involved in all aspects of the club and committed to the teams short and long-term successes. 

Experience/Qualifications
Ideally the club is looking for an individual with England Hockey Level 2 (or equivalent) qualification and a proven track record of coaching achievement. Individuals lacking one or other of these criteria (for instance experienced players looking to step into coaching or player-coaching) should apply, but should be able to explain clearly how their own experience and ideas make them the ideal candidate for the role.

Other opportunities
The club has other opportunities which might be available for the right candidate, including director of junior coaching. Additionally we are aware of local schools who are looking for coaching support which we believe would complement the club role(s).
