Christ’s Hospital is looking to appoint a Badminton Coach to join its Sports Department. Initially for two terms on a part-time basis for up to 10 hours per week across Monday, Thursday and Saturday. The successful candidate will be expected to play a pivotal role in the coaching and promotion of Badminton at CH. Currently, the Head of Badminton oversees the whole badminton programme, and the school runs multiple teams across a range of age groups for both boys and girls. However, we are anticipating continued growth in this sport and structures may evolve.
The department currently comprises seven members of staff, incorporates nearly 30 external coaches, a group of Graduate Sports Assistants as well as a high percentage of the full-time academic staff. The Director of Sport oversees the Activity for Life programme, which aims to provide all students with an enjoyable, challenging, and balanced range of physical activities. The programme empowers every student with the knowledge and skills needed to make responsible lifestyle choices, that positively impact on their health and well-being. The Head of Sport Science oversees the PE programme.
Sport at Christ’s Hospital is an important and vibrant part of the Activity for Life programme. The various sports are run by members of the P.E. department or other academic staff, and significant investment has been made to employ outside coaches where necessary to provide the best possible coaching across a variety of sports. The focus sports are Rugby, Football, Netball, Hockey, Badminton and Athletics. In addition to these sports, Christ’s Hospital is very proud of its achievements in areas such as Badminton, Cross-Country, Fives, Squash and Tennis. CH continually looks to promote these sports along with many others such as Basketball and Swimming.
Facilities are excellent and include twenty-one grass pitches, two floodlit all weather pitches, seven netball courts, fifteen tennis courts, eight badminton squares, a swimming pool, a double sports hall (housing 8 badminton courts), gymnasium, squash courts, fives courts, fitness suite and dance studio. Within this safe and pleasant environment our students can develop their skill base and to learn the lifelong benefits of physical activity. Work is also well underway for four padel courts, state-of-the-art athletics track and field area and an activity trail which will open in late 2025.
