Performance Manager
PERFORMANCE MANAGER About the role Canoe Wales has an exciting opportunity for a Performance Manager to lead our Performance and Talent Programme in Wales. You will develop and implement our strategy to get more Welsh athletes into the GB sprint, slalom and paracanoe programmes – including building a large club-based talent pool of athletes in these disciplines across Wales. An inspiring and supportive leader, you will manage a team of experienced and passionate coaches and development officers to continue our work to build a positive, ‘Athlete First’ team culture. We are looking for someone with a strategic mindset and a creative approach to performance management. You must be passionate about athlete welfare and ensure our programme considers the needs of young people, so that we’re not just developing successful athletes, but also confident leaders who achieve success in life off the water. You will have fantastic communication and people skills – building good relationships with staff, athletes, parents, clubs and coaches, but also not shying away from difficult conversations when these are necessary. And you will be comfortable with finances, as you will have responsibility for managing the programme’s budget in a challenging funding environment. This is a part-time role but with complete flexibility to fit around any other work or family responsibilities. You will work from home but will likely be on the road from time to time to support your staff, meet our athletes and their families, and attend competitions and training camps. You do not need to have a background in paddlesport – what matters most is your ability to bring inspiring leadership to a talented team.

11.03.21 Correspondence
P-05-1155 Allow safe, socially-distanced watersports during coronavirus lockdowns, Correspondence – Petitioner to Committee, 11.03.21 Additional information to support Senedd petition 244739: “Allow safe, socially-distanced watersports during coronavirus lockdowns” This petition was started by kayakers and has been signed by many other watersports participants including wild swimmers, dinghy sailors, surfers etc, both recreational and competitive. Wales is home to a large, thriving community of people whose passion for outdoor recreation is central to their identity and quality of life. This community is composed of individuals from all walks of life, including those born and bred in Wales and those coming to live in the country from other parts of the UK. Many water sports participants report that engagement in these activities is a central part of their lives, their ‘recreation’ offering physical, emotional and spiritual nourishment. Within this community are many people drawn to the coastline, rivers and lakes of Wales. These rich natural resources provide sources of physical and mental wellbeing, essential adventure, and a sense of location and identity. Successive lockdowns in Wales have required “swimming or other exercise at sea, or in lakes, rivers or other waterways” to be avoided. We understand the Welsh Government position is that water sports are to be avoided to reduce the pressure on rescue services and NHS. We disagree with this position for the following reasons: 1) The likelihood of accidents or rescues is extremely low, given the available data from the RNLI / Wales’ Drowning Prevention Strategy 2020-26. Significant factors: Seasonal considerations combined with activity type and intention show that committed water sports participants, accessing local water resources, are highly unlikely to encounter difficulties in their chosen activities.

Canoe Wales: Steve Rayner OBE [email protected] Campaigns and Events British Canoeing, our counterpart in England, launched on 28 November at a reception in Parliament its Clear Access, Clear Waters campaign, supported by a new Access and Environment Charter. This campaign calls on the UK Government to give greater public access to waters in England along the lines of Scotland or the proposals made by the Welsh Government in 2017. The campaign was launched with strong support from Pauline Latham MP and John Grogan MP and included a video which explains simply and effectively why the present access situation is unacceptable: https://youtu.be/LYWKGf6L-5k Although the British Canoeing Charter strictly applies only to England, Canoe Wales has been fully engaged in its development and shares its core pledges: In support of the 3 pledges British Canoeing makes within the Charter, Canoe Wales will commit to… Page 2 of 18 www.naturalresourceswales.gov.uk 1.
