Scott Clarke, Tigers community manager, said: “It is great news that we can take part in this initiative and create opportunities at the heart of the Tigers community.
“We want to get as many children as possible active and healthy and enjoying sporting opportunities through Tigers and these roles will be key to that.”
In total, 76 community coaching roles have been created for unemployed people across the 12 Premiership Rugby clubs.

Wayne Morris, head of community rugby at Premiership Rugby, said: “With unemployment figures for this age-group reaching close to a million it’s a great opportunity for young people who are currently registered unemployed to get their foot on the ladder of community coaching and to gain essential skills.
“The successful candidates will be learning from top Premiership Rugby coaches and at the same time helping the clubs to deliver an even higher standard of community programmes through an increased number of coaches.”
Tigers also have a vacancy for a rugby development officer. Based in Norfolk, the RDO will be required to plan and deliver a range of coaching, community and company activities and must be a qualified coach to RFU Level 2.
