Our aquatic disciplines provide training environments in a number of Performance Centres across the UK for permanent athlete groups as well as acting as “performance hubs” for national programme‑wide activity for World Class Programme athletes.

A recent change has seen the Sports Science Sports Medicine Practitioner Team adopt a cross‑aquatic remit, which reinforces the aquatic integration.

The post‑holder will provide direct nutrition support to Aquatics athletes based in the North region. This includes the Loughborough, Sheffield and Manchester Performance Centres, with some support to World Class Programme athletes based in Stirling also required. Travel to other centres within the Aquatics GB network may be required to fulfil non‑delivery duties. Support at domestic and international competitions and training camps will also be required.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and hardworking individual with a passion for working in high performance teams. Successful candidates will show the ability to work collaboratively, display critical thinking and problem‑solving skills and have the ability to work flexibly and a willingness to travel frequently. Post‑holders will be expected to have excellent organisational skills and work well both independently and as part of a team.
