WE ARE HIRING! 2025 COACHES
The Organisation
School of Hard Knocks (SoHK) uses touch rugby to help young people improve their wellbeing. Our philosophy is to create a fun and safe environment that offers emotional support and physical challenges to develop learners’ inner resources so that they grow in their ability to self-assess, manage their emotions, and make better life choices.
The SoHK Schools programme is a 1-year intervention, working with 900 learners in grade 7 and 9, in groups of approximately 30, at schools based in or around the CBD of Cape Town. We offer weekly life skills training through touch rugby coaching and mentoring.
The Role
As a SoHK intern Coach, you will be part of the team responsible for our frontline delivery. Reporting to your Team Leader, you will focus on delivering our award-winning life skills curriculum and mentoring young people, and will also have responsibilities within SoHK, designed to help the organisation grow.
You will receive comprehensive training in trauma-informed psychological first aid, as well as in our award-winning life skills curriculum.
The internship will last for 1 year, with opportunities for intern Coaches to take more senior roles within SoHK in 2026 and beyond, based on performance and on the organisation’s growth.
