Job description

Lead a team, inspire young people and help shape brighter futures across Hastings

Looking for the next step in your youth work / mentoring career?

At Dallaglio RugbyWorks, we support young people who are at risk of exclusion from education. Using sport as a hook and positive relationships as the foundation, we help young people build confidence, resilience, aspirations and life skills that can transform their futures.

We’re looking for someone who can lead from the front. Someone who can support and develop a team, build strong partnerships with schools and community organisations, and still enjoy working directly with young people.

As Senior Programme Coordinator, you’ll help make sure that support reaches as many young people as possible and that it’s delivered to a consistently high standard.

You’ll lead a small team of sports coaches and youth mentors, helping them plan great sessions, develop their practice and overcome the day-to-day challenges that come with the job. You’ll also build and maintain strong relationships with schools, alternative provisions and community partners to keep programmes running smoothly.

This is a hands‑on role. Alongside keeping regional delivery on track, you’ll still spend time working directly with young people: being a positive presence, modelling good practice and helping create the kind of safe, engaging environments where young people can thrive.

What you’ll need

• Experience delivering programmes or interventions for young people facing significant challenges
• A qualification in Sports Coaching, Youth Work, Teaching or a related field
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• The ability to travel regularly across Merseyside and Stockport
• Flexibility to work up to two evenings per week (until 7pm)

Full-time, 37.5 hours per week, including up to two evenings per week until 9pm
