Aquatics GB is seeking a ‘Senior Performance Nutritionist’ to oversee, manage and drive the delivery of nutrition support for World Class Programme athletes within Aquatics GB.
An excellent opportunity to join one of the most successful National Governing Bodies in the UK Sport High Performance System has arisen.
Aquatics GB oversees Aquatics sports in Great Britain - Swimming, Para-Swimming, Diving, Artistic Swimming and Water Polo. Our aquatic disciplines provide training environments in a number of Performance Centres across the UK for permanent athlete groups as well as acting as ‘performance hubs’ for national programme-wide activity for World Class Programme athletes.
A recent change has seen the Sports Science Sports Medicine Practitioner Team adopt a cross-aquatic remit, which reinforces the aquatic integration.
This role will oversee, manage and drive the delivery of nutrition support for World Class Programme athletes within Aquatics GB. Reporting to the Aquatics Head of Physical Performance, the successful candidate will work collaboratively with coaches and the performance support team across all Aquatics GB World Class Programme sports to ensure the highest standards of nutrition support.

The post-holder will provide direct nutrition support to Aquatics athletes based in the North region. This includes the Loughborough, Sheffield and Manchester Performance Centres, with some support to world class programme athletes based in Stirling also required. Travel to other centres within the Aquatics GB network may be required to fulfil non-delivery duties. Support at domestic and international competitions and training camps will also be required.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and hardworking individual with a passion for working in high performance teams. Successful candidates will show the ability to work collaboratively, display critical thinking and problem-solving skills and have the ability to work flexibly and a willingness to travel frequently. Post-holders will be expected to have excellent organisational skills and work well both independently and as part of a team. Candidates must demonstrate suitability to be role models for the high-performance culture and behaviours expected in the environment.
