This role is being advertised alongside a vacancy for Head of Junior Coaching. Applicants are welcome to apply for one or both roles. Some elements below may only apply if the roles are held by different individuals.

Sevenoaks Hockey Club is one of England’s most established and community-minded clubs. Our Men’s 1st team play in Division 1 South and in the Premier Division of the National Indoor League. We are proud of the group we have built: a committed squad and a culture that players buy into and stick with.

Right now, we are at a key point in our journey – alongside a group of experienced players, we are developing a core of U18 players and welcoming university returners back into the senior environment. We are looking for a Coach (or Player-Coach) to guide that group forward and help shape what’s next.

What we are looking for
You will bring solid experience of National League hockey – as a coach or player – and the ability to connect with players of all ages and stages. You will know how to bring shape and clarity to a squad, how to develop younger talent, and how to get the best out of a group every week. You will also work well with others to keep the whole men’s player pathway joined up and thriving.

The role
• Coaching the Men’s 1st team – training and match days
• Build a team culture that’s competitive, inclusive and built to last
• Develop a strong spine of junior and returning university players
• Liaise closely with the Men’s 2/3s and other men’s coaches as well as the junior coaches to support player progression (junior and senior)
• Support our indoor programme
• Develop and grow the team every season
