British Judo is seeking experienced, self-employed judo coaches to join our new Pool of England Programme Associate Coaches. This pool will provide a flexible but high-performing resource to support our national and international England Performance Pathway programmes.

Your involvement will support our overarching goals of Olympic and Commonwealth success, athlete-centred development, and coaching excellence.

This is not a contract of employment, and inclusion in the pool does not guarantee work. However, selected Associates may be called upon for up to 50 days of coaching activity per year, based on programme needs and availability. Engagements will be ad hoc, self-employed, and subject to defined scopes of work.

We are looking for coaches who:

- Have a proven track record of working with developing performance athletes aged 12–20.
- Hold the minimum qualifications outlined in the role specification (including Level 2 coaching, first aid, safeguarding, and UKAD training).
- Are confident operating in high-performance, multi-coach environments.
- Can uphold and model the values and behaviours of British Judo, including respect, inclusion, and integrity.
- Are able to travel and work flexibly, including evenings, weekends, and occasional international assignments.
