Rugby Programme Coordinator

Loughborough University - Loughborough Sport

Part-time 0.63 FTE (23.31 hours/week) and open ended.

It’s an exciting time to join the Rugby programme, as the Men’s programme strives to provide a sector leading rugby experience, delivering excellence on and off the pitch, and the Women’s programme continues in their partnership with Northampton Saints to build a top tier programme that is competitive in the Premiership Women’s Rugby (PWR) and Women's BUCS Super Rugby.

Working alongside the Rugby Programme Manager to manage all “off pitch” areas of the University's Rugby programmes, the role will primarily focus on the organisation and administration of the Loughborough University Rugby Performance Programme BUCS Super Rugby (BSR), Women’s BUCS Super Rugby (WBSR), National League and Lightning Franchise. The successful candidate will work closely with external partners such as the Rugby Football Union and Referees Association, as well as internal departments such as commercial, marketing, facilities and administration. At times it will be necessary to work outside normal 9-5 working hours, including work in the evening and at weekends.

The post holder will ideally work on Mondays and Fridays, with flexibility around either a Tuesday or Thursday. This is due to the operational demands of both the Men’s and Women’s Rugby programme and key planning days. However, this is open for discussion at interview.

Contact for informal enquiries: Dave Bassett, Rugby Programme Manager, on d.w.bassett@lboro.ac.uk.

Closing date for receipt of applications: Sunday, 12th April 2026.

Interview date: Friday, 24th April 2026.
