Haslemere Community Rugby Club Director of Rugby / Senior Coach
Exciting opportunity - both hands-on and and strategic
Haslemere Community Rugby Club is a growing club with a broad range of players, age groups and playing activities. Our age groups range from micros, minis and juniors, through to colts and seniors.
A position or positions have arisen to fulfil the following requirements:
• Act as Director of Rugby across the whole club shaping the “player pathway”.
• Coach the seniors
It may be that the two requirements are met within a single person or the roles may be split between two individuals.
The Director of Rugby role is both strategic and hands-on with the business of playing rugby. It is predominately concerned with senior rugby and the smooth transition from Colts to senior rugby. In addition, it will be concerned with mentoring coaches and reaching out to the wider rugby community as required. The Director of Rugby will be a member of the club’s Executive Committee.
Haslemere seniors currently have sufficient players for around one-and-a-half teams and one of the strategic aims for the role would be to grow this to be able field two teams consistently. The seniors play in the RFU national league structure in the Surrey divisions and train one or two nights a week.
The junior section train and play on Sunday mornings. Ideally the Director of Rugby would be involved in shaping the player pathway in line with Haslemere’s “One Club” philosophy. This aims, with growing success, to see graduates of the thriving junior rugby setup flow through into senior sides putting on exciting rugby with equally exciting results.
The Senior Coach role is very much a hands-on role, running the mid-week coaching sessions and managing the match day. It would be a very suitable position for a coach looking for RFU Level 3 Coaching Certification. This role will likely entail the greater time commitment of the two roles.
There is remuneration available from the club for the person(s) fulfilling these roles.
Applications are invited by emailing a CV and covering letter to dor@haslemererugby.co.uk, with a closing date of 30th June 2017. Interviews will take place during July. The new Director/Coach is expected to be in place at the latest by 1st August to ensure a smooth and successful pre-season lift-off.
