Hertford Hertfordshire, United Kingdom School of Hard Knocks Charity Full time €25,000

ABOUT US

School of Hard Knocks (SOHK) is a charity that exists to empower and support individuals who are living in complex and challenging circumstances. By fostering an environment of genuine acceptance and through the use of physical activity and group and one-to-one support sessions, SOHK enables people to find meaning and purpose to life. All of SOHK's activities are underpinned by an evidence-based sport for development framework called the 5Cs. 

OVERVIEW

SOHK for Schools is a full academic year intervention, working with groups of young people. The pupils will be chosen by the school and will typically be the ‘hardest to reach’ young people. We will work with them for half a day every week, delivering rugby training, SOHK classroom sessions on subjects such as growth mindset, goal setting and choices, and we’ll deliver weekly 1:1s for each pupil. The programme will be evaluated by SOHK staff, teachers, parents and the pupils themselves.

Based in across the central belt, the Schools Rugby Coach is responsible for leading and delivering rugby sessions, through which we seek to enhance participant personal development in relation to the 5c’s (Confidence, Communication, Cohesion, Control, Commitment), in safe and assured manner.

The Schools Rugby Coach will develop a schedule of rugby sessions, to be shared with the School Facilitator, balancing the development of rugby skills over the year (considering the timing of festivals) and the primary purpose of personal development. As part of the school delivery team, the Schools Rugby Coach is expected to support the delivery of 1-2-1 and SOHK classroom sessions, as appropriate.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • On a termly basis, prepare a schedule of rugby sessions, focused on developing students’ rugby skills, incorporating the development of the 5c’s (Confidence, Communication, Cohesion, Control, Commitment)
  • Prepare session plans that are engaging and align to programme objectives, ensuring that the objective of each session is clearly understood and communicated to other team members supporting delivery.
  • Lead the delivery of rugby sessions
  • Ensure that all rugby sessions are delivered in a safe manner, (equipment, playing area, coaching techniques, participant abilities, first aid provision)
  • Support the Regional Manager in the planning and coordination of fixtures and rugby festivals to ensure meaningful game opportunities for all 

ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Support the delivery of 1-2-1 sessions, as appropriate
  • Support the delivery of SOHK classroom sessions, as appropriate
  • Assist with Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) efforts by collecting SEL scales, programme overviews/registers, student feedback, staff and student testimonials
  • Regularly communicate with the Regional Manager and Team Lead to provide updates on student progress and session outcomes
  • Participate in termly meetings with school staff to discuss student development within the programme

SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

  • Hold a level 2 coaching qualification in rugby (essential)
  • Hold an additional relevant qualification in this area (desirable)
  • Previous successful delivery of sports coaching, training or schools programmes, preferably with hard-to-reach groups 
  • Experience in developing/motivating children 
  • Skilled in working with complex young people
  • First class communication and facilitation skills
  • Excellent project management and administration skills
  • Demonstrable ability to steward partnerships or client relationships
  • Ability to travel to the chosen schools each week
