Volunteer with Derby Rugby Club

Be Part of Something Bigger

Volunteers are the heartbeat of Derby Rugby Club.

Every training session, every matchday, every event, and every success story is made possible by people who generously give their time, skills, and enthusiasm. Whether they're welcoming visitors, coaching players, helping behind the scenes, or supporting the day-to-day running of the club, our volunteers create the atmosphere that makes Derby Rugby Club such a special place.

Simply put, without volunteers, the club couldn't operate.

Today, more than 100 volunteers help keep Derby Rugby Club thriving—and we're always looking for more people to join the team.

Whether you can spare a few hours each month or would like to take on a regular role, there's a place for you.

Join us and help shape the future of Derby Rugby Club.

Why Volunteer?

Volunteering is about far more than giving your time. It's an opportunity to become part of a community, meet great people, develop new skills, and make a real difference.

Our volunteers tell us they enjoy volunteering because it gives them the opportunity to:

  • Give something back to the club and the game they love.

  • Play an active role in the future of Derby Rugby Club.

  • Use existing skills in a rewarding and different environment.

  • Learn new skills and gain valuable experience.

  • Enhance their CV and personal development.

  • Gain coaching qualifications and support player development.

  • Improve confidence, wellbeing and self-esteem.

  • Meet new people, build lasting friendships and have fun.

  • Make a positive impact within the local community.

No matter your experience, every volunteer makes a difference.

There's a Role for Everyone

Volunteering isn't just about rugby.

We have opportunities across every part of the club, from coaching and team management to events, hospitality, administration, communications, fundraising, maintenance, and governance.

As a limited company by guarantee, we're also keen to hear from people with professional or business experience in areas such as:

  • Finance

  • HR

  • Marketing

  • Legal

  • IT and Digital

  • Project Management

  • Health & Safety

  • Business Administration

If you'd like to use your professional skills in a rewarding community environment—or develop new ones—we'd love to hear from you.
