Join a new, developing performance environment

RCG is building a performance pathway aimed at competing at the highest level in Dutch rugby. Our Heren 1 & 2 squads are entering a new phase of growth, with a clear vision, high standards, and a culture built on collaboration, player development, and a long-term legacy for the club and region.

We are looking for an Assistant Coach to join our performance staff. You will work within a coaching team of up to four, alongside national-level coaches, to deliver:

Candidates with a World Rugby Level 3+ qualification, or World Rugby Level 2+ combined with Ereklasse experience as a player or coach, will be considered for the upper range.
