We pride ourselves on our Motto - Facta non Verba (deeds not words).

Our teams compete in the NSW Sydney Suburban competition - and after a unbelievably successful season in Division One this year - the club is seeking expressions of interest to join and complement our highly talented programs as either a Coach or Manager. You would work under two experienced coaches that guided the club. We have opportunities across our Grades and Colts programs for Coaches & Managers.

Coaches at HHRUFC are responsible for coaching, recruitment, skill development and management of our players - ensuring that they are the best they can be and reach/exceed their potential. Having done it once - our aim is very clear - to not only again win both the Division One Club Champion and Kentwell Cup, but also provide the premier rugby experience in Sydney!

2026 is already looking to be an exciting year - with the best clubhouse and player facilities in Sydney - and exciting recruitment/retention already well underway.

About You

• A positive outlook and a desire to develop rugby players to be 'the best they can be'
• Experience in managing stakeholder relationships across the club, from players to other coaches to administration
• A commitment to develop, drive and grow a consistent style of play that is embraced across all grades in the club
• A willingness to participate in the identification and selection of talent across the club - regardless of grade
• Experience in Senior Rugby in similar roles - whether that be in Subbies or Shute Shield Level, and where necessary associated Coaching Credentials (Rugby AU Level 1 Certified essential)
• A desire to develop yourself - and grow as a coach in a high performance culture

Role Responsibilities:

• Development and implementation of a healthy squad culture that is focused on player learning and performance excellence
• Own the training planning for your team - and ensure that they are pre-planned and executed with a prioritisation on player development
• Participate collaboratively with coaching peers through the selection process to ensure balance and reward
• Use available technology to drive the proper game review and plan tactics/strategies accordingly
• Work with club admin and our trainers to drive player welfare (injury and wellbeing) as a paramount consideration
• Provide a respected leadership example to players and the broader club in general
• Both Competition & Club administration, paperwork and compliance per competition rules (MANAGERS)

Over the last few years - the club has invested in the development of coaches - and provided them with the tools they need to be successful. Whether this be equipment, specialist coaching skills, or participation in coaching networking - the club will continue to invest heavily in its coaches.

If you want to join the most successful club in Sydney this year - who has highly engaged players and the best facilities in Sydney Club Rugby - then you should apply for a role at HHRUFC - we would love to hear from you!
