Community Jobs for Hockey

Scottish Hockey have been successful in bidding for 14 Staff
from Community Jobs Scotland with the SCVO. These staff will be
composed of 12 Assistant Hockey Development Officers and 2 office
staff.

This programme is building on the Future jobs Fund programme run
in the past two years that exposed an additional 17,000 young
people to hockey whilst also offering 31 young people at least 6
months work experience.

The Assistant Hockey Development Officers will be based in the
field, coaching, and delivering hockey, around Scotland. They will
all receive training as UKCC level 1 coaches, have training in
First Aid and in Child Protection. They will then be deployed in
partnership with Local Authorities to increase the delivery of
hockey in each area. It is hoped through the programme to expose an
additional 6000 young people to hockey.

The office based positions will be to assist in communications
and competitions. By adding to these two areas it is hoped that we
can increase the promotion of hockey and provide support to the
changing competition structure this year.

Community Jobs Scotland is a government programme, run by SCVO,
to help young people get back into employment. The positions are
open to young people 18 to 24 years old. They must also have been
on Job Seekers Allowance for at least 6 months to be eligible.
Applications need to be made through Job Centre Plus.
