If a role requires it under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975, we will carry out the appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.

West London Centre for Counselling is a well-established charity which currently provides free counselling to the local community through a contract with NHS Talking Therapies in Hammersmith and Fulham, as well as low-cost counselling for which clients can self-refer directly online, and is expanding into other services under the leadership of a CEO who joined us in 2025.

We are now looking for an efficient Administrator to play a key role in supporting the Centre and its staff. The position involves updating our secure databases with appointments and clinical information, handling enquiries by email and telephone, providing receptionist duties, training counsellors in administrative procedures, and contributing to the overall smooth running of the Centre. 

The ideal candidate will have excellent attention to detail and exceptionally clear verbal and written communication skills, and a knowledge of - or willingness to learn about - the fields of counselling and psychotherapy, and will be a positive and thoughtful team player. 

We imagine this as a full time, 5-day-per-week position (35h pw), with at least one evening shift per week (until 9pm); however we are open to applications from people interested in the role on a part-time basis, please state this clearly in your application.

The job description and person specification are attached. Please make your application in writing showing how your experience and knowledge meet the person specification. We look forward to hearing from you.

Help young people build confidence, resilience and brighter futures through sport and mentoring.

 Looking for a role where you can make a real difference?

Maybe you're studying Sports Coaching, Sport & Exercise Science, Youth Work, Education or Psychology.

You're a Teaching Assistant, Learning Mentor, Sports Coach, Support Worker or Youth Worker looking for your next step.

Or perhaps you love working with young people but want something more stable, rewarding and meaningful than evening and weekend coaching.

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.

You don't need to be a rugby expert. What matters is your ability to connect with young people, inspire them and help them believe in themselves.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

__________________________

The Role at a Glance

• Sports Coach / Youth Mentor (we call it Delivery Lead)
• Hastings & Bexhill
• £18,750 - £22,500 per annum (pro rata), based on a full-time equivalent of £25,000 - £30,000
• Part time 28 hours per week (full-time 37.5 hours)

What you’ll be doing

Every young person deserves someone who believes in them.

As a Sports coach & youth mentor, you'll play a vital role in that journey. Alongside your coaching partner, you'll deliver engaging sports sessions, mentoring and workshops that inspire young people, build trust and help them realise their potential. Whether you're supporting a young person one-to-one, leading a group activity or helping deliver enrichment events, you'll be creating opportunities for young people to succeed.

This is more than a coaching role. It's an opportunity to be a positive role model, build meaningful relationships and make a lasting difference in the lives of young people across Hastings & Bexhill.

You do not need to know rugby to apply. The rugby side can be taught, and plenty of people in the team started with youth work or mentoring experience rather than a sports coaching background.

Day to day, you’ll work with schools, alternative provision teams and community partners to keep sessions safe, productive and well-organised. You’ll also support holiday activities, career taster days and enrichment trips, giving young people positive things to be part of outside school.

There will be some admin too, including tracking attendance, progress and outcomes. This helps the team see what is working and keep support consistent for the young people taking part.

If you're passionate about helping young people thrive, we'd love to hear from you.

You're probably a great fit if...

You believe every young person deserves someone in their corner.

Whether you've coached a team, supported students in school, mentored young people, or led activities in your community, you know how to build trust, inspire confidence and help young people see what's possible.

We're looking for someone who brings energy, empathy and resilience; someone who can connect with young people facing challenges, lead engaging sessions, and be a positive role model when it matters most.

If you're passionate about changing lives, confident working independently, and excited by the chance to make a real impact every day, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll need

• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• The ability to travel across Hastings & Bexhill
• Flexibility to work up to three evenings per week (until 7pm)

Bonus points if you have...

• A qualification in Sports Coaching, Youth Work or a related field
• Experience working in schools, alternative provision or community settings

This is your chance to help young people realise their potential.

More About Us

 At Dallaglio RugbyWorks, we support young people 12-18 who have been excluded from education or at risk of exclusion. Using sport as the starting point and mentoring as the foundation, we help them build confidence, resilience and the skills they need to create brighter futures.  Rugby helps start the relationship, but the work goes far beyond sport. The charity uses mentoring, life skills, wellbeing support and career-focused activities to help young people build confidence and prepare for life after school.

Our work focuses on four areas: life skills, raising aspirations, physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing and the aim is to make sure exclusion from school does not become exclusion from society. You’ll be part of a team giving young people consistent support, trusted adults and practical chances to move towards education, employment or training.
