Athletics Assistant Sprint Coach

NTU Sport is looking for an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Assistant Sprint Coach to support the continued development of our Athletics Club and help student-athletes perform at their best throughout the BUCS competition season.

Working alongside the Head Coach, you will help plan and deliver high-quality sprint coaching sessions, supporting athletes across training, competition and individual development. You'll play an important role in creating a positive, inclusive and ambitious training environment where athletes can thrive.

Responsibilities:
- Support the planning and delivery of sprint coaching sessions.
- Provide technical coaching and performance feedback to athletes.
- Assist with athlete development throughout the season.
- Work collaboratively with NTU Sport staff, club committee members and support services.
- Contribute to talent identification and athlete progression within the club.

Sessions take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings during term time only, making this an ideal opportunity for coaches seeking regular, fixed coaching hours alongside other coaching, employment or personal commitments. The role is located off-site at Harvey Hadden Sport Complex.

Experience within higher education sport, performance environments or the BUCS competition structure would be advantageous, but is not essential.
