Abingdon Vale Swimming Club is looking to appoint one or more enthusiastic Level 2 coaches to join our existing coaching team.

We are a Swim21 accredited club with access to excellent facilities based in and around Abingdon,  Oxfordshire and are committed to supporting the development of our swimmers to reach their highest personal potential. This position will be an exciting opportunity to work alongside our newly appointed Head Coach Amanda Ford, coaching swimmers at all levels from development to national level; we have a number of successful regional and national swimmers.  This is an exciting time for our club and we hope you would like to join us on the next phase of our journey.

The job is part-time and the hours will be negotiated with the successful candidate(s).
You will be required to:
  • Work with a number of squads as a leading coach or part of a team.
  • Attend meets and coaching at weekends.
  • Hold or be prepared to undergo a DBS check with the ASA.
  • Be self-employed and must have a permit to work in the UK.
  • Be available to start work soon after the interview.
Experience:          
  • Experience of working with age group, youth and senior swimmers.
  • Previous competitive swimming experience would be an advantage, but is not essential.
Skills required:
  • Hold ASA Level 2 swim coaching qualification or equivalent.
  • A high level of technical knowledge and understanding of LTAD.
  • Adaptable to work in a team environment and to also work alone.
  • Willing to take onboard feedback and have a positive influence on the club training programme.
  • Communicate and work effectively to build strong relationships with swimmers, parents, coaches and the committee.
  • Be highly motivated and an inspiring role model for swimmers and parents.
  • Holding or working towards a Sports science/dry land qualification would be beneficial.
We believe the best way to equip our swimmers to achieve their full potential is to support our coaches in their own development so the swimmers benefit from the best coaching possible.  We continually support our coaches to gain additional qualifications and stay updated with the latest technique /theory updates by attending regular CPDs.

Salary: Dependent on hours, qualifications and experience

Abingdon Vale Swimming Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Amanda Ford as Head Coach of AVSC.


Amanda has been a key member of AVSC's coaching team for the past 6 years, and many of our swimmers have flourished under her guidance.  She plays a vital role in developing our swimmers' technical skills, delivering land training classes, and introducing other strategies which are at the forefront of the sport to ensure continued improvement.

Amanda is a Level 2 coach and Level 3 Personal Trainer with over 14 years' experience. She currently delivers the strength and conditioning training for the England Talent Level 1 Programme, both regionally and nationally.

AVSC CoChair, Julia James said "We are thrilled that Amanda has agreed to become our new Head Coach, and are looking forward to working with her during the next exciting phase of AVSC's development".

One of Amanda's first priorities as Head Coach will be reviewing the coaching provision across the club, to ensure that the needs of all squads are met;  "Our objective is to create long - term development, whether a swimmer wants to participate or become a performance swimmer. The dedicated coaching team will help swimmers to achieve their objectives via skills development,  and educate them to understand the vital role that nutrition,  land training and sports psychology plays in their swimming progress" 

With Galas and Regional and National championships looming, AVSC swimmers from 9 to 18+ will be stepping up their training in the coming weeks to 'be the best you can be, be AVSC'.
