About the Role
As Head of Performance Support, you will lead the overall performance support element of the British Triathlon World Class Programmes (WCP) – Olympic and Paralympic. In so doing, this role will develop and deliver the overarching science and medicine strategy, informed by What it Takes to Win (WITTW) models and aligned with individual and national programme plans.
You will be responsible for:
- Leading and managing SSSM practitioners - including doctors, physiotherapists, strength and conditioning coaches, nutritionists, psychologists, and performance lifestyle specialists - ensuring professional standards and long-term development.
- Overseeing the development and delivery of science and medicine strategies aligned with athlete and national programme plans, while driving SSSM elements of the Games projects for LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032.
- Ensuring alignment and integration of science and medicine services across the pathway, with a clear focus on athlete health.
We're looking for a strategic leader with deep expertise in sports science and medicine, who can drive performance support for British Triathlon's Olympic and Paralympic programmes. Our ideal candidate will have experience in high-performance environments, combining strong leadership and team management skills with the ability to design and deliver integrated science and medicine strategies. They will possess a comprehensive understanding of athlete health, clinical governance, and the multidisciplinary needs of elite endurance athletes, while fostering collaboration across coaches, practitioners, and national performance pathways. Due to the high injury burden of our sport, we are keen that the post-holder has some sort of clinical background (i.e. physiotherapist, doctor, or other related discipline), and applicants will be prioritised on that basis.
The role will be based at Loughborough, with regular travel expected to the WCP training centre in Leeds. Periodic international travel may also be required, dependent on the individual skillset.
