Opportunities at Eastern Counties, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk
If you are enjoying being involved in rugby and want to get more involved, or if you know of somebody who does, then we hope that you will think about getting involved at a county or Eastern Counties level.
We are always on the lookout for new volunteers – so even if none of the specific roles advertised below appeals – why not send us a note letting us know a bit about what you’d like to do and some sense of what your background is – don’t need a full CV, but a sense of what you would be bringing to the table would be fantastic.
Send it to loverugby@ecrurugby.com – and we will take it from there.
Chairs, Managers, Volunteers
This year we have some specific roles we are looking to fill – some for our AGM on 1 June, some for next season, but no need to wait if you are interested in letting us know.

The process for coaches is slightly different – please send information about your coaching background to our Director of Representative Rugby, Chris Capps-Jenner on coaching@ecrurugby.com
Eastern Counties and the three counties run representative programmes at adult and age grade levels for both male and female players. All these programmes require coaching teams which are put together by our Director of Representative Rugby.
If you are coaching at a club or have experience of coaching in any environment – and would be interested in joining one of our teams then please let Chris know at the email above. If possible please complete the Coaching CV form which can be found below.
Want to help – but not sure how?
At Eastern Counties, we aim to improve the rugby experience for all involved in the game in our three counties – and to do that we have a continuous need to bring a wider range of people into our work – if you want to contribute then please put yourself forward. If you are not sure if any of the above are exact fits for what you want or are able to do – then let us know what you can do, and we’ll take a look at where you might fit in.
