Cramlington Rockets are recruiting.

If you throw yourself into the role, it can be one of the most rewarding things you ever do

Cramlington Rockets are looking for new volunteers to supplement its existing team.

Volunteers are essential for the success of the club, the time and effort creating opportunities for everyone involved to realise their full potential while having a great time.

Experience is not essential, only enthusiasm and dedication. We have a lot of volunteers that have joined the club in an area they have never worked and with the support of others, have thrived.

Whether it is an hour a month or attending training at match days every week, it all can make a difference.

The club has high standards and expectations but if you throw yourself into the role, it can be one of the most rewarding things you ever do.

Cramlington Rockets are the current RFL National Community Club of the Year, meaning you would be joining one of the leading amateur sport organisations in the UK.

The club is also blessed with a number of staff and volunteers who have been recognised on both regional and national levels, meaning you will be able to learn from a friendly and welcoming team that is well thought of across the sport.

Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, previously CRB) checks will be completed for all. First aid, coaching and safeguarding qualifications will also be needed where relevant.

If you are interested in any of these roles, email info@cramlingtonrockets.co.uk or speak to Steve Beaty or Jeff Ball.
