Sports Coaches

As part of our sport and physical activity delivery at UoD, we deliver a range of performance sport programmes which are reviewed annually. These programmes are currently for 2023/24 academic year are Volleyball, Badminton, Football, Cycling, Swimming and Basketball.

In collaboration with the Union of Students and the school of human sciences the sport and physical activity team will manage the performance sports programme under the Team Derby brand. The union of students will manage the sports coaches within all other Team Derby clubs and teams. It is expected that each performance coach works in collaboration with the student leaders of their sports club in collaboration with the Union of students sport staff.

We are looking to set up a framework of coaches for the different sporting activities offered at the University of Derby. These sporting activities are lead by student interest and as such they will be reviewed on an annual basis. The framework will be set up for a four year period, reviewed 3 months before the end of each contract and renewed annually as per the coaching requirements of the University of Derby. As such there is no commitment or guarantee that the renewal will take place with the current incumbent and we reserve the right to retender for any of the coaching positions at our discretion. The estimated spend is £52,700 per year (total expected spend over 4 years £210,800) combined for all lots.
