Head Padel coach

Employed or Self-Employed | Full-time | Launching Summer 2026

Build something special from day one.

VIBE Club & Lounge is launching a premium padel, wellness and social destination in Lancashire. This is not a bolt-on padel offer — it’s a purpose-built club designed around performance, community and lifestyle.

• Five indoor padel courts at launch (4 doubles + 1 singles)
• Premium lounge, café-bar and social spaces
• Integrated wellness, recovery and movement studios
• Golf simulators and work spaces
• Phase 2 expansion to 9 courts within ~12 months

This is a rare chance to build, not inherit — and to grow a flagship padel programme with long-term potential.

As Head Padel Coach, you’ll lead the entire coaching offer — from beginners through to performance players — while building a vibrant, inclusive padel community.

You’ll combine hands‑on coaching with programme leadership, ensuring a consistently high‑quality member experience.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and leading the club’s padel coaching programme
• Delivering 1:1s, groups, clinics and camps
• Creating leagues, ladders, socials, tournaments and events
• Developing coaching standards and player pathways
• Recruiting and mentoring additional coaches as the programme grows
• Working closely with the operations team on scheduling and utilisation
• Acting as a visible ambassador for VIBE and its community

This role suits a coach who:

• Wants ownership, autonomy and visibility
• Enjoys building programmes and communities
• Thrives in premium, people‑focused environments
• Is ambitious and growth‑minded, not just session‑focused

• Strong coaching experience and communication skills
• Experience running structured coaching programmes
• Safeguarding‑led, professional approach
• Right to work in the UK (DBS required)
• Evening and weekend availability
• Performance or squad coaching experience
• League, ladder or tournament organisation
• Coach mentoring or leadership experience

We are open to Employed, Self‑Employed or Hybrid arrangements, depending on experience and preference.

• Competitive base salary or coaching revenue share
• Coaching incentives and growth opportunities
• Full‑time commitment preferred
