The role

Are you an experienced rower looking for a technical, hands-on role supporting a thriving rowing programme? This role offers an excellent opportunity to gain coaching experience while ensuring the smooth running of Emanuel School's boathouse.

As Boathouse Manager, you will play a vital role in the delivery of Emanuel's rowing operations by providing exceptional support services and maintenance, while safeguarding the health and safety of rowers and staff. You will be responsible for maintaining the school's rowing facilities and equipment, ensuring everything meets compliance requirements and enables our rowers to perform at the highest levels.





The role also involves logistical support for transporting rowing equipment to and from competitions, training venues, and camps. This will require careful planning of resources and staff time, along with occasional travel to events both nationally and internationally.

In addition to your boathouse responsibilities, you will assist with coaching a J14 or J15 squad and may lead a squad depending on your experience.

About you

We are looking for a dedicated and reliable individual with hands-on maintenance experience and extensive rowing knowledge. Technical understanding of rowing, boats, and equipment is essential, alongside the ability to drive with boat trailers. You will also need an RYA Level II powerboat qualification or a willingness to obtain one.

This is a fantastic opportunity to combine your passion for rowing with practical, hands-on work in a supportive and high-performing school environment.

With a weekly staff briefing, half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, all of us are engaged in a lively ongoing dialogue about the school's aims and aspirations.


Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining us should expect to do the same and share our commitment to the highest standards. At the same time our ethos remains unpretentious, kindly and practical, and there's a strong sense of community and friendship at the school.


We aim to look after our staff well: we have an appraisal scheme with a focus on employees' professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer salary sacrifice childcare vouchers through TEDS Premier, we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we're committed to supporting staff wellbeing.

ISI Inspection Report April 2023

Welcome to Emanuel

We are a vibrant, fully co-educational school of over 1,100 pupils aged 10-18, supported by more than 200 dedicated teaching and support staff. Emanuel is a community driven by aspiration: our pupils, colleagues, and families share a commitment to excellence, personal growth, and lifelong learning.



This ambition is reflected in our record-breaking achievements. In 2025, 46% of GCSE grades were awarded the top grade 9, with 75% at 9-8 and 91% at 9-7 - the best results in the school's history. At A Level, over 70% of grades were A-A, with nearly a third awarded A. Emanuel is now recognised as one of the leading fully co-educational schools in the country. The latest ISI Inspection report stated: "Pupils make excellent progress across the range of subjects and significant value is added to their academic outcomes."



Our aspirations extend far beyond the classroom. We nurture talent in every field, with a deep commitment to sport, the arts, and STEM. We invest significantly in our facilities, including a 30 million STEM and Refectory building currently underway, which will provide state-of-the-art science labs, maths classrooms, and vibrant social spaces. Our creative arts provision has earned national recognition, including the Independent School of the Year for Performing Arts (2023), while our work in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion won the Talk Education Award (2024).



Connection lies at the heart of Emanuel life. Our thriving partnerships programme creates meaningful links with the wider community, welcoming over 1,000 primary school children to our site each month to learn alongside our pupils. This work was recognised with the Independent School of the Year Award for Community Outreach (2021).



Empathy shapes our culture. Emanuel is a positive and welcoming environment where every individual is valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Our talented and dedicated colleagues share a belief in the power of kindness, collaboration, and personal fulfilment. Together, we ensure that staff and pupils alike enjoy a sense of belonging and shared achievement.



We wish you the very best of luck with your application.
