Job description

Teaching careers in HMC independent schools

Rugby Coach (Partnerships)

Fixed Term for 2 years initially. Required as soon as possible however the start date can be flexible for the right candidate.

This exciting role is an innovative collaboration, part-funded by England Rugby (RFU) and partly by RGS. Working 50% in RGS coaching rugby at all ages, and 50% in local schools (funded by the RFU), we are looking for an inspirational coach who can inspire the next generation.

The objective of this role is to deliver on England Rugby priorities through TREDS to connect, grow, and diversify the rugby community by increasing participation among young people in areas of low participation. This role will join a thriving RGS Partnerships programme, which reaches over 10,000 children from around 100 schools every year. Our ‘funded-teacher’ model has already shown success in Maths, Physics, Robotics and Computer Science.

The successful candidate will promote diversity and inclusion within the sport, both on and off the field. Historically Rugby has and still is a big part of the RGS sports programme and this exciting initiative will help to continue that tradition whilst also increasing the numbers across the region enjoying and participating in the game.

Hours: This is a fixed-term position for two years, which we hope to secure beyond the initial term by showing proof of concept. The successful candidate will work term time only plus an additional 20 days to be worked throughout the school year. It is expected that the 20 days will be divided as follows: 4 staff training days, 7.5 days to account for the term dates of our Partnerships schools (more details can be provided at interview) and 8.5 days for pre-season training or other ad hoc sports days as needed.

Salary: As a guide, the salary for this role will be the region of 28-30k gross per annum (Full Time Equivalent). As this is a term time only role, the salary will be adjusted to approximately 24-26k gross per annum. Candidates should note that the range advertised is not fixed and we are happy to consider the skill and experience of applicants when deciding the final renumeration. There is also the potential for other opportunities to enhance your income while making a positive impact on the rugby and school community.
