Join the Journey: Scottish Elite and Development Squad (SEDS) Co-ordinator
Do you have a passion for Orienteering and want to see high quality training delivered for young adult athletes who are currently at TD 5 standard?
We are looking for someone who can act as the coordinator for the Scottish Elite and Development Squad (SEDS). The role of SEDS is to encourage the retention and development of young adults (20 to 39 years) within the sport by providing training in a sociable environment.
This is an outcome-orientated role, focused squarely on delivering high quality training over at least 6 weekends a year and the organisation of Scottish Team attendance at SHIs. We would welcome any innovative ideas for delivery of the training
The role will involve:
- obtaining permissions/access, risk assessments, accommodation, travel, staffing/recruitment, planning training, delivering training (hanging, coaching)
- Working with the SHI selectors to organise the Scottish team attendance at the SHIs with the support of the SOA admin team for communications and finance.
Alongside this role we have funding for TD3/4 young adult coaching which we would like to integrate into the SEDS delivery. There is an opportunity for this to be undertaken by the successful candidate but equally we will organise the delivery of this training at SEDS weekends if necessary.
