The University of Southampton Students’ Union alongside Solent University is working in partnership with the Rugby Football Union (RFU), to grow Rugby for the students across both Universities.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and engaging individual with knowledge of the Higher Education sector, specifically within Rugby and ideally with a good understanding of the wider sports environment.
The post holder will coordinate rugby participation and engagement opportunities to introduce new players to rugby and ensure players are not lost from the game by offering more innovative ways to retain them both during their time at university and after they leave.
You will work across both institutions to create strong links between students, volunteers, professional staff and clubs by providing regular paying opportunities by breaking down barriers to participation and perceptions for new and returning students and freshers.
You will be responsible for planning, promoting and delivering tournament / festival opportunities during midseason and at the end of the BUCS playing programme.
You will be required to undertake coaching to Solent University Rugby Teams, primarily leading on Ladies Rugby coaching.
You will need to have previous experience or a demonstrable interest in the specialist area of Rugby and having an understanding or experience of University academic structures. You will ideally have an RFU Coaching qualification at a minimum of Level 2 or equivalent experience and have experience in Men’s and Women’s Rugby Coaching. Due to the split location of this role a driving licence will be required.
