Les Stables Training Camps France want YOU!

Here is a VERY interesting opportunity (the dream summer job?!), for the right person. This is a position we have highlighted for several years now on the pages of TRI247, and always generates significant interest and applications.

We are pleased to say that most of the recent successful applicants have been found after initially reading about the opportunity on these pages. So, if you plan on applying… good luck!

Les Stables Training Camps France (www.les-stables.com) are seeking an assistant to help with the running their training camps for two sessions (of nine weeks each), between April and August 2019.

With a few hours of work per day – and perfect training opportunities literally on your door step, including a 25metre pool – this could be a great way to live the ‘full-time’ triathlon life while also building some great contacts and experience in the process.

I have had the privilege of spending a week at Les Stables myself on holiday in both 2016 and 2018 – it is truly one of the most incredible places I have ever been to, run by amazing people (Mark and Sibs), combining superb facilities, great training and lots of fun too!

This really is a great opportunity for the right person. Read on and make sure you get your application in if it sounds interesting to you.

Position for an Assistant at Les Stables Training Camps France

Les Stables Training Camps France (www.les-stables.com) are looking for an assistant to help with the day-to-day running of the Camps in 2019.

Dates required

There are two sessions currently available. April – June and June to August. Candidates can apply for both sessions or just one

April 10th – June 5th 2019 (9 WEEKS)

And / or:

June 26th – August 28th 2019 (9 WEEKS)

Who is it for?

The placement would suit a young athlete (18+) looking to improve their experience in the sport and the standard of their performance in triathlon at a competitive level.

The successful candidate is required to have attained a good standard in all three disciplines, swimming, cycling and running, and should be outgoing in nature and enjoy working and training with other people of all ages.

Duties and Responsibilities

Duties and roles are not too daunting or onerous but would include:

Assist with the guided bike rides. (The candidate would have another of our experienced riders with them at all times)
Assist with the guiding and marshalling of training runs. (This is undertaken on bikes with our team acting as marshals and guides along the route)
Assist with the swim video analysis sessions (Filming the athletes, no previous experience required)
Assist with the open water swim guides, either in canoe or swimming

Other non-swim, bike and run roles include:

Cleaning of all hire bikes (Normally between 5-10 bikes per week. This is only one day a week after the weeks sessions have finished)
Grass cutting – using the sit on mower and tractor.
Any other basic duties around the venue as and when required.

What you get in return

The successful candidates duties will normally only take up half of the day and given that most of them are based around swimming, biking and running where they participate in the activity, they will get a lot of training in simply as part of their role.

This scheduling leaves the successful candidate the rest of the day to do their own specific training.

The successful candidate is of course able to participate in and benefit from the technical coaching we offer to our clients and would undoubtedly improve as an athlete whilst they are with us.

All costs relating to accommodation and food would be covered by Les-Stables for the duration so the successful candidate would incur no costs during their placement

Les Stables would also provide the successful candidate with cycling kit, jerseys, shorts etc. and casual wear, t-shirts and hoodies / similar.
