(rugby)
Working in partnership with England Rugby, we are excited to offer a new full-time role combining both School Rugby Manager and Post-graduate Sports Coach (rugby) for a fixed term for 36 months.
England Rugby has set a bold target to bring rugby union into an additional 5,000 state primary and secondary schools by 2027, led by a network of 100 School Rugby Managers. Based at Eastbourne College, you’ll drive this growth locally, introducing T1 rugby in schools, developing teachers and young leaders, organising inclusive playing opportunities, and creating lasting school-to-club links. You’ll collaborate with Heads of PE, senior school leaders, England Rugby staff, and community partners to ensure rugby thrives in every setting — with a special focus on reaching new and underrepresented groups.
Alongside the Schools Rugby Manager role, the post‑holder will also work as a Post‑graduate Sports Coach supporting the delivery of sport, with a rugby focus, across Eastbourne College and St Andrews prep school
The right person will have a marvellous opportunity to work in a stimulating environment where colleagues, pupils, resources and buildings all strengthen the process of teaching and learning.
The position would suit someone passionate about rugby specifically, and sport in general and who may be considering a future in delivering and managing sports in an educational setting. Candidates may already be working in a similar role in the sector or be an experienced player or coach wanting to put his or her experience to use in a different context.
