Director of Tennis Position Available
Director of Tennis
Rushbrooke Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club is one of Munster’s largest and prodigious clubs with a great history in National, Provincial and Local tennis. The club has 9 Omni and 2 grass courts with a very active senior and junior membership. We are now looking to appoint a Director of Tennis to lead the coaching and playing element of these plans. We currently have between 6 and 7 hundred all categories of members.
The selected person will be an independent contractor to Rushbrooke Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club and as such will be responsible for his/her own tax affairs and payments. The person will be expected to carry out the tasks detailed in the attached job description. As this is a comprehensive list, it would incumbent on the Director of Tennis to agree with the Committee how much they would provide themselves and how much they would contract to other coaches.
The Director of Tennis will report to the Club Committee on a monthly basis and work closely with both the Tennis and Junior Committees and individual Committee members on a day to day basis.
All clubs have unique features and Rushbrooke has a history of providing an inclusive Junior Coaching programme and Summer Programme and how this is either continued or replaced would need to be agreed with the Committee as a priority.
The Director of Tennis will be responsible for appointing all additional coaches, in conjunction with the Committee, and monitoring their performance. The role will therefore call for experience and ability in managing other coaches.
We see this as a key appointment within the development of the Club and therefore we are looking for an experienced, highly qualified coach who has continued to update their skills and who can work well with a varied group of stakeholders.
Additional skills that can be considered requirements are computer literacy, punctuality, reliability and a personable manner.
Remuneration and terms and conditions of employment will be discussed at interview. Remuneration will reflect the importance of this position. We are willing to be flexible in any employment contract but we would need to be convinced that any prospective Director of Tennis would commit a satisfactory amount of time to the role.
The appointment will commence in early September or at such later date is agreed. Applicants should enclose a comprehensive CV and give the name of two relevant referees who would not be approached until a contract was offered.
All applications should be sent to the Chairman Rushbrooke Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club Cobh Co. Cork or Emailed to tennis@rushbrooketennis.ielater than Friday 24th of August 2012.

New tennis blog definitely worth a look!
James McGee is currently Ireland's top tennis player and the recent hero of Ireland's Davis Cup win in Egypt.
James has started what should be a very interesting blog on life as a professional player.
http://jamesmcgeetennis.wordpress.com/
It gives people, in particular our up and coming stars, an insight into what to expect if they decide to go the professional route. It is very informative and a very enjoyable read and I know I will be keeping tabs on this blog.
