The role will be managing the women’s programme alongside Head of Lacrosse, Sam Patterson, primarily with the women’s performance team with a secondary focus on 2nd and 3rd teams working alongside their two development coaches.
Alongside coaching the Women’s Lacrosse programme, the successful applicant will receive a scholarship to largely cover the cost of a Master’s degree qualification.
