You may be aware that Tim Hughes is standing down as Director of Rugby and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Tim and his team for the loyal service and commitment they have shown the club over the last several years. The club is actively engaged in looking to recruit a new Director of Rugby  for the coming season however to ensure we can prepare properly for the season it is imperative that this appointment is made as quickly as practicable.

• the appointment will be made on behalf of the club by your management committee.
• it will be an unpaid post
• the Director of Rugby will report to the management committee and will be expected to attend committee meetings at least 4 times per year.
• the Director of Rugby will be responsible for all 1st and 2nd team squad playing and management matters and liaison with the 3rd/4th team, colts and youth section.
• he will be responsible for setting a framework to ensure players are properly prepared and supported
• he will direct and set a framework for the club coaches to work within to ensure consistency of approach and the playing resources are fully developed 
• he will be delegated and be responsible for a rugby budget.
• he will lead on player recruitment and retention
• he would be free to set up a rugby sub-committee, appoint / dismiss coaches, managers, administrators etc

Although the above are broad guidelines overall the club will be looking for an individual with enthusiasm, a passion for the game and Thurrock Rugby and an ability to clearly communicate and direct the players, coaches and management with a view to success in the coming seasons.

Applications with a brief outline of why you think you should be engaged and a brief of your proposals should be made in the first instance to the club chairman by post to the club marked P&C or by email to bheapy@unitedhouse.net. An interview with a sub-committee of the management committee may be undertaken with short listed candidates. Our proposed dates are applications to be received by midday Monday 28th April. Interviews if necessary Saturday 3rd May and the appointment formally announced at the AGM and at a players meeting to be convened directly after the AGM on Sunday 11th May'

This notice will also be included in the programme for the next home fixture, be posted at the club and on the club's website. I am also happy for it to be shared with any potential applicant outside the club.
