About Spear Stockton

Spear Stockton is a partnership between Spear and Stockton Parish Church!

Stockton Parish Church 

Stockton Parish Church (SPC) is an Anglican Church with an Evangelical Charismatic tradition in the centre of Stockton on Tees. SPC is a diverse worshiping community of around 200 people, a quarter of which are under 18. 

Their mission at SPC is: ‘for everyone to know who they are, whose they are, and the difference they are called to make in the world around them’. They launched a 5 year vision in January 2022 to see their worshiping community grow to 500 people and to plant 3 churches. As the 30th most deprived parish in the country, part of their vision is committed to the long-term transformation of Stockton, seeking the peace and prosperity of the town for generations to come. This is expressed through a number of initiatives and partnerships, including the development of the Spear Centre. Spear Stockton forms part of this wider strategy, supporting young people into work and education as a key contribution to the flourishing of the local community. 

Key Information:

• Salary: from £27,088 - £31,691 FTE (£21,607 - £25, 353 pro rata)

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.

Interview Date: 16th July 2026

Interview Location: St Thomas' Church, Newcastle

At Dandelion Time, we support children facing significant emotional challenges, often, but not always, rooted in adverse childhood experiences such as domestic violence, abuse, or neglect. Our systemic, trauma‑informed approach focuses on the whole family, helping them build healthier relationships, create positive change, and move towards brighter futures.

Nature is at the heart of everything we do. Through hands‑on activities in the natural world, children and families connect with the earth, plants, animals and with each other.

About the Role 

You will play a key role in delivering our therapeutic programme. Reporting to the Therapeutic Programme Manager and supporting the Family Caseworker, you will help plan, prepare and facilitate meaningful therapeutic sessions for children and their families. This may include leading group sessions supported by Teaching Assistants or collaborating with teaching staff involved in each child’s care.

Why Join Us?

You’ll be part of a welcoming, energetic and committed team making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children. The work is deeply rewarding, offering the opportunity to help families rebuild relationships and create new beginnings.

What can you bring to Dandelion Time?

To thrive in this role, you will have experience supporting disadvantaged children or those with SEND.  It would be helpful, but not essential, to have an understanding of the challenges faced by parents and carers managing their own wellbeing. Experience as a Youth Leader, Scout Leader, Forest School Leader, or in a similar child‑centred, outdoor or community role, will be a real asset.

You’ll have a genuine passion for hands‑on, creative activities, whether that’s crafting, working with the land, or caring for animals. An interest in our land‑to‑table ethos, including the preparation and cooking of healthy, nutritious food, will help you feel right at home.

Above all, you’ll bring a warm, joyful presence to the families you support, helping to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow, explore and flourish.

Temporary contract

This is a temporary position for 10 months, ideally commencing in early September and continuing until the end of the school year (July 2027). However, our priority is to appoint the right candidate, and we would be willing to offer some flexibility on the start date to accommodate this.

Location: Home based, with expectation of travel to our London office (located in Old Street, EC1) at least one day a month
