Further details about the role
About us:
GORSE is an outstanding Multi-Academy Trust in Leeds, with over 7,000 students across its six secondary academies and three post-16 colleges. The Gorse Boat Club is open to every student studying at this level.
The Trust is targeting success at National Schools and Henley Royal Regatta. Rowing is a priority sport at GORSE, and this singular focus, together with our large talent pool, makes us one of the most exciting new programmes in junior rowing.
Rowing is now established in all secondary academies and colleges. Until now, GORSE’s rowing programme has been comprised of mainly indoor rowing delivered through the curriculum and after-school clubs. With the opening of our new boathouse this Autumn, we will start the process of progressing our students to the water. We want you to help us realise their potential.
We are blessed with one of the best stretches of water anywhere in the UK. Situated adjacent to Lemonroyd Lock, the new boathouse is just 20 minutes from the centre of Leeds yet set in the city’s green belt. On one side is 1,750m of dead-straight canal; on the other is 10km of quiet, unbroken river. Our fully equipped boathouse and brand-new fleet will provide 64 seats in this first phase of our growth plan. Together with over 150 rowing machines and well-stocked gyms across all academies, there are no excuses.
