About the Position

As an NIU coach, you will be responsible for planning, implementing, and following up on daily swimming training for high school students. You will work closely with the school's other special sports teachers, coaches, subject teachers, and external partners such as swimming clubs and federations.

You will actively contribute to a holistic perspective where training, recovery, and studies are balanced to promote long-term development at an elite level. As an NIU coach at Solna Gymnasium, you will be responsible for the students' dual careers, i.e., both their academic and athletic development. Our swimmers represent several different clubs in Stockholm, contributing to a developing environment. The position includes mentorship for our swimmers.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who has:

• Documented coaching education through relevant higher education, nationally or internationally, and/or the Swedish Swimming Federation's education ladder
• Experience in leading and developing swimmers at junior or senior levels.
• Knowledge in training planning, technique and performance development, as well as sports science principles.

We wish for you to be licensed, and if you are not yet, a plan will be set up for that. An active coaching license from the Swedish Swimming Federation is an advantage. If you are a certified special sports teacher in swimming, that is also an advantage.

Your leadership is based on the belief that all students can and want to develop. Your teaching is based on a pedagogical approach and proven experience that enables you to create good learning environments. As a person, you are attentive to the needs of students, clear, respectful, and have a great ability to collaborate with both students and colleagues. You should have the ability to build good relationships with young people, colleagues, and the sports community. Furthermore, you will plan, organize, and prioritize effectively and ensure that all processes are completed with good quality.
