The Opportunity:
The Club seeks a dynamic individual to undertake the role of Senior Assistant Coach to further advance the development of an environment for players to reach their potential on- and off-the-field.

What’s in it for you?
A fantastic career opportunity for a talented coach to be exposed to a modern, high performance system, with a winning culture, elite-standard coaching support & facilities, and excellent network & pathway opportunities to build your coaching career.
