Looking for the next step in your youth work / mentoring career?

Maybe you're currently a Senior Youth Worker, Programme Coordinator, Team Leader, Sports Development Officer or Pastoral Lead looking for your next challenge.

You've spent years delivering impactful work with young people and are ready to take on more responsibility while still staying connected to frontline delivery.

Or perhaps you're already leading a team and fancy a new challenge in a dynamic and busy role.

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.

We're looking for someone who can lead from the front. Someone who can support and develop a team, build strong partnerships with schools and community organisations, and still enjoy working directly with young people.

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

__________________________

The Role at a Glance

Youth Mentor / Regional Team Lead (we call it Senior Programme Coordinator)

Luton and Stevenage
£28,000 – £34,000 per year
Full-time, 37.5 hours per week, including up to two evenings per week until 7pm

What you’ll be doing

As Senior Programme Coordinator, you'll help make sure that support reaches as many young people as possible and that it's delivered to a consistently high standard.

You'll lead a small team of sports coaches and youth mentors, helping them plan great sessions, develop their practice and overcome the day-to-day challenges that come with the job. You'll also build and maintain strong relationships with schools, alternative provisions and community partners to keep programmes running smoothly.

This is a hands-on role. Alongside keeping regional delivery on track, you'll still spend time working directly with young people: being a positive presence, modelling good practice and helping create the kind of safe, engaging environments where young people can thrive.

You'll also take the lead on the activities that go beyond our weekly sessions such as organising holiday programmes, Career Taster Days, regional trips and events that give young people experiences they wouldn't otherwise have. These are some of the most rewarding parts of the role and a real chance to see young people shine in a different context.

Building relationships in the community is a big part of this too. You'll get to know the local area, embed yourself in the networks around it and find partners, venues and opportunities that help deepen out work and enhance our engagement with young people.

You don't need to know anything about rugby to do this job well. What matters is your ability to connect with young people and the communities around them.

This is a role where you get to combine youth work, teamwork and programme coordination, making a real difference every day.

You're probably a great fit if...

You believe every young person deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of the challenges they've faced.

You have experience working with young people and understand how important positive relationships can be in helping them build confidence and change their future direction.

You're someone who enjoys supporting others to succeed, whether that's coaching staff, building partnerships or helping young people overcome barriers.

You can balance the bigger picture with the day-to-day detail, keeping programmes organised while maintaining a strong focus on quality and impact.

Most importantly, you're passionate about creating opportunities for young people and helping teams deliver their very best work.

What you'll need

• Experience delivering programmes or interventions for young people facing significant challenges
• A qualification in Sports Coaching, Youth Work, Teaching or a related field
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• The ability to travel regularly across Luton & Stevenage
• Flexibility to work up to two evenings per week (until 7pm)

Bonus points if you have...

• Experience leading, supporting or developing staff within youth work, sport, education or community settings

This is your chance to help shape the future of our work across Luton & Stevenage.

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.
