About The Refugee Council

The Refugee Council is the nation’s refugee charity. Together with community groups, partners and volunteers, we help people who have escaped war and persecution to rebuild their lives, integrate into communities, and play their part in Britain. Born in the aftermath of World War II, our frontline services support over 14,000 refugees each year to find safety, get to know their neighbours, and enter education, training or work. We share our evidence and expertise with policymakers to help build integrated communities where everyone can contribute.

We have offices across the UK where our Services teams provide support to refugees at the local level.

Inclusion and Accessibility

Ensuring that the Refugee Council is an inclusive and accessible place to work is important to us. We want to enable people from different backgrounds to apply and thrive with us. We believe our recruitment process enables that and are also happy to make adjustments on request.

Our values underpin everything we do:

• Inclusive: We are inclusive. We work with – not for – refugees and people seeking asylum so they have an equal voice, co-producing projects and ensuring their expertise and experiences are at the heart of what we do.
• Collaborative: We are collaborative. Working with others is a priority in order to have the collective impact that is vital to achieve policy and practice reform.
• Courageous: We speak out when we see injustice, cruelty and unfairness. We always stand up for what we believe is the right thing to do to transform the experiences of those seeking protection in our country.
• Respectful: We are respectful of all those we interact with. We treat everyone – our staff, volunteers, beneficiaries, partners and people we disagree with – with the same respect, professionalism and understanding.

About the Role

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.

Oasis Nurture Clinical Lead: a qualified Child Therapist with leadership experience (a qualified Child Psychotherapist or Psychologist (registered) with substantial experience working with children facing adversity)

· For: Oasis Nurture – Oasis St Martin’s Village

· Contract: 4 days a week: Permanent, Term Time

· Working Pattern: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 8-4pm

· Salary:  £42,193, including London Weighting and pro-rated for term-time plus pension and all the usual employment benefits

Oasis St Martin’s Village

Oasis St Martins Village is part of Oasis which is a group of organisations, committed to building stronger communities. Oasis St Martin’s Village, based in Tulse Hill, is a new and exciting project, working in partnership with other organisations in an integrated way, to provide opportunity and pathways for children and young people.

The vision of the Village is to transform the life-chances of children, who are struggling in or not coping with mainstream education, by offering them and their families support and opportunity.

Our work is based around the principle that “it takes a village to raise a child”.

Oasis Nurture

Oasis Nurture is a project that is carried out on the Village. It is a therapeutic intervention designed specifically for those children who might be described as the missing middle – those who do not meet the threshold for an ECHP but who nevertheless struggle to engage with the curriculum for a variety of reasons.

Oasis Nurture is just completing its pilot phase, working with four local schools, offering a two day a week intervention to a small group of children.

As the Clinical Lead, you will ensure the highest standards of therapeutic care, support a team of dedicated practitioners and teachers and collaborate with schools, social services, and mental health agencies to create a wraparound support system for children.

The Role

In this role you will be:

· Providing clinical leadership and case management expertise

· Holding and managing a small caseload of complex therapy cases, providing direct intervention where needed.

· Supervising the team and leading reflective practice

· Fostering a culture of collaboration, curiosity, and kindness within the team.

· Ensuring programme excellence & development, working alongside the leadership team to refine therapeutic models, policies, and safeguarding protocols.

· Ensuring all practice is evidence-based, inclusive, and child-centred.

· Managing data and outcomes, evaluating and reporting impact

Oasis Nurture is not an Alternative Provision; it is a part time intervention designed to support local schools and children and their families.

As this is a newly created role, you will expect some evolution of the role as a result of the development of the project, your insightful input and our combined learning. At the same time, the role provides incredible opportunities for the right person.

To apply, please send your CV and a Supporting Statement (no more than two A4 pages).

Please expand on your CV to tell us about relevant skills, experience and qualifications you have that relate to the job description and person specification.

We will review applications on a rolling basis and reserve the right to close the advert if we identify suitable candidates. To avoid disappointment, please submit your application as soon as possible.

If successful you will be invited to a formal interview (TBC). We actively encourage applications from people of all ethnic backgrounds and underrepresented groups. If you require any assistance to overcome potential barriers during the recruitment process, please let us know. 

Oasis is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the Oasis ethos.  We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks.
