Bath Rugby Foundations’ Alternative Learning Hub programmes empower young people to create a better future for themselves by providing opportunities to gain confidence, life skills and independence through innovative education, coaching and support. We work closely with individuals, families, schools, and clubs to unlock potential, reignite self-belief and provide opportunities for children of all abilities and backgrounds

The Alternative Learning coach must have a can-do attitude and work calmly under pressure as part of a team environment. Being able to relate to young people and demonstrate listening skills without judgment is critical to the role. Being energetic, passionate, and confident within sports and classroom delivery is vital.

At Bath Rugby Foundation we take team culture seriously. Our environment fosters the individual, giving them space to be heard so that they can develop personally and professionally. We aim to embody both individual and team integrity, enjoyment, and creative expression. This is our gift to our students & each other.
