NRC are looking for expressions of interest for rowing coaches to join our great coaching team for our competitive, social, college, masters and learn to row members of Nelson Rowing Club.

We are looking for anyone with some rowing, rowing coaching or general coaching experience who would be interested in becoming part of our team. This is a part time gig, where you would form part of the NRC coaching team to deliver both on and off water coaching to our members and help ensure the safety of the rowers on the water. In return NRC offers support for coach learning both on and off the water and a great environment to be in over the beautiful summer months here in the Nelson Region.
