BACKGROUND

An exciting opportunity has come up within this young, dynamic charity to play a key role in helping Dallaglio RugbyWorks achieve its growth plans.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks is a long-term intensive skills development programme, based on the values of rugby, delivered to young people in alternative provision. The goal? To ensure they achieve sustained education, employment or training.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks was founded by Lawrence Dallaglio OBE, former England Rugby and Wasps Captain.  Having experienced a troubled time in his youth after the death of his sister, Lawrence found rugby, which he credits for helping overcome a very turbulent time in his life.  Lawrence recognised the power that rugby had in transforming his attitude, behaviour and aspirations and channelled that power into the development of RugbyWorks.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks works with teenagers from chaotic backgrounds with high levels of social risk factors such as troubled families, criminality and unemployment.  They have much lower success rates in education and employment compared to their peers.  RugbyWorks is designed to help these young people onto a positive pathway to achieve sustained education, employment or training with a particular focus on exposing them to various vocational opportunities. 

We are looking for a Part-Time Trust and Foundations Manager to join the fundraising team, and are looking for someone who shares our passion for helping young people; not afraid to be hands on and happy for each day to be different from the last and also shares our values:

• We Will Nurture a Family Spirit
• We Will Proactively Adapt
• Always Aiming Higher
