School of Hard Knocks Current Employment Opportunity

School of Hard Knocks uses rugby to help young people improve their well-being and make better choices when it comes to risky behaviour, education and their career paths. For school children at risk of dropping out of mainstream education we offer weekly life skills through rugby coaching and mentoring.
