The Heart of Our Success In London

Rising XVs rugby teams are at the heart of our success, with coaches, players and volunteers working together to develop skills, resilience and sportsmanship. Their commitment on and off the pitch turns ambition into achievement and inspires the wider community. We celebrate their dedication as the driving force that keeps our club moving forward.

More on what to expect

After you apply, we will review your CV and contact suitable candidates for a short telephone or video call. Successful applicants may be invited to a face-to-face or virtual interview and asked to complete a skills test or work sample if required.

If we decide to proceed, we will carry out reference checks and make a formal offer with details of salary, benefits and start date. We will keep you informed at each stage and provide feedback where possible.

Recruitment and Selection Process

Our recruitment and selection process is fair, transparent and focused on finding the best match between candidate and role. We shortlist applicants on the basis of skills and experience, invite successful candidates to interviews and role-specific assessments, and complete references and right-to-work checks before making an offer. We are an equal opportunities employer and aim to keep candidates informed and provide feedback at each stage.

Application and Recruitment Process

Our application and recruitment process is straightforward: send us your CV and a short cover note, and we’ll take a quick look. If you’re shortlisted we’ll invite you for a friendly chat and any role-specific tasks, then keep you updated at every step.

What to Expect from Our Rugby Hiring Process

Think of our hiring process as a friendly warm-up rather than a full-contact scrummage: we'll kick off with a clear job brief, follow with a swift skills check and a relaxed interview where you can show your best moves.

Rugby Recruitment and Selection Process

Our rugby recruitment and selection process identifies players who best fit each squad through a transparent combination of trials, performance data and coach assessment. Candidates are invited to open trials or scouted from club performances, and selections are made against clear criteria including skill, fitness, attitude and potential.

We are committed to equality and safeguarding and provide constructive feedback to unsuccessful applicants to support their development. For trial dates and application details, please visit our recruitment page or contact the club recruitment officer.
