Sevenoaks is an ambitious club with a long history and strong values providing opportunities for everyone, from recreational through to high performance level hockey.

The Club has nearly 500 Junior members aged 6 to 18 supported by a team of over 100 coaches, volunteers and managers. In recent years our junior players have won national and regional titles. We have teams competing in Tier 1 leagues and all our junior teams regularly play in cup, league and friendly fixtures.

We currently have a number of junior international players and excellent development opportunities for all players of all abilities, which we look to further develop with the appointment of a strong Head of Junior Coaching.

This is much more than a coaching job. It is a strategic role at the heart of a forward-thinking club, recognised as an England Hockey Talent Centre and Talent Academy. You will shape the future of our junior offer – from the youngest beginners through to national-level athletes. It is a role with real scope, real support, and a real chance to make your mark.

What we are looking for
We want someone who is driven by impact. You will need experience designing and delivering high-quality junior coaching programmes, alongside strong leadership and mentoring skills. You are probably a Level 3 coach (or working towards it), and confident navigating the England Hockey Talent Framework. And above all, you are someone who can inspire players, coaches and parents alike.

The role
• Lead the design and delivery of our junior hockey programme across all age groups and abilities
• Develop and support our team of coaches, assistants and volunteers – especially our younger and up-and-coming talent
• Play an active role in fostering seamless progression into senior and performance hockey
• Work closely with the Junior Hockey Committee, coaches, the Talent Academy and school partners to create joined-up pathways
• Bring the ‘Sevenoaks Way’ to life – community, aspiration, excellence and inclusion
