We are recruiting up to three Team England Coaches to join our performance staff and support England’s judo athletes in the build-up to, and during, the Games.

We are looking for coaches who embody British Judo’s values of respect, modesty, friendship, courage, courtesy, honour, honesty and self-control, and who are committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for all athletes.
If you are ready to be part of Team England’s journey to Glasgow 2026 and believe you can help our athletes achieve excellence, we would love to hear from you.
