Race coach
Run gates, build technique and take our race squads through a full season of training and events.
The job
Peak’s race programme is growing fast and we want someone to own the coaching side of it. This is gates, video, timing and the unglamorous early mornings that make a season’s progress possible.
You will run training blocks for our club squads, take race camps through holiday weeks, and coach private race clients who want serious technical work. Across a season you should see the same athletes enough times to genuinely develop them, which is the point.
What makes this different
Most seasonal race coaching jobs are a fortnight of camps bolted onto a teaching diary. This is not that. The race programme is a product in its own right, with its own calendar, and you are the person shaping it.
You will also have a hand in the pathway - spotting the strong twelve-year-old in a Kids Club group and getting them into the right squad is as much a part of the role as setting a course.
Who you’ll be coaching
Juniors from first gates through to genuine club racers, plus adults who want to be technically better than they are. Parents are engaged, invested and will ask you real questions. We back coaches who answer them honestly.
