Careers

Scots College is a co-educational school in Wellington, for students ranging from Year 1 to 13. We are currently looking to recruit a team of part-time coaches for the upcoming 2024-25 rowing season. The successful candidates will have coaching and/or rowing experience.

Proudly an IB World School with a history of over 100 years of education, our motto is “Virtutem Paret Doctrina” – let education build all-round character.

Scots College Rowing Club is run by our coaching team and supported by our parent led Rowing Committee. The Scots College Rowing Programme is a smaller programme with numbers last season being around 25 students. We are striving to build the programme through creating an environment to harbour success. The College is affiliated with the Star Boating Club, where our rowers run most of their training sessions. Star Boating Club is home to many strong rowing schools and continues to grow in numbers.

We are looking for candidates to fill three main positions, i.e.:

• Assistant coach/es
• Head Coach
• Director of Rowing

All positions are part-time roles, in paid positions working as an independent contractor during the rowing season. These roles will commence any time from now through to March 25, so approximately 25-30 week’s work. The Coaches will lead our Junior/Novice program following the guidance of the Head Coach and Director of Rowing. Although this group will be their focus, they will work alongside all rowing athletes throughout the season.

These roles require flexible working hours (there are around 20 hours available per week between the coaches, so we can likely build a timetable to suit individuals) with all trainings either occurring early in the morning, straight after school, or during the weekend. There are multiple trainings during the week and overnight camps and regattas in Wellington, Hawke's Bay, Whanganui, and Karapiro.

To apply or for additional information, email hintonc@scotscollege.school.nz with your CV, and letter outlining your experience and why you are best fit for the role. Please also include the name of 2-3 recent referees (we will not contact these people without your permission).
