Hockey Development Officer, Department Of Sport And Physical Activity
Fixed Term Whole Time Post (3 years)
UCC wishes to appoint an experienced Hockey Officer to the Department of Sport and Physical Activity reporting to the Head of Sport and Physical Activity and working directly with UCC Hockey Clubs (women and men). The Hockey Officer will have proven ability in leading hockey performance and development programmes, managing players, coaches, and other support personnel. Hockey is a well-established sport in UCC with well over 150 players, coaches, and volunteers involved with men’s and women’s competitive, social, and recreational hockey. Our teams attract young players from Munster and increasingly from South Leinster and other parts of the country. While the UCC Hockey women’s teams are one of the leading programmes for competitive women’s hockey in Munster and Ireland, the men’s teams are in a period of flux, so the new appointee will be tasked with reinvigorating this part of the club.
Over the last 12 months, we have signed a major partnership with Munster Hockey whereby UCC is the lead partner for all age-grade provincial teams to promote and develop Hockey in the province and to promote the UCC brand. This has been a significant success, gaining national attention which will build over the next 3 years.
Please note that Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.
For an information package including full details of the post, selection criteria, and application process see UCC Vacancy Portal. The University, at its discretion, may undertake to make an additional appointment(s) from this competition following the conclusion of the process.
Informal enquiries can be made in confidence to the Director of Sport & Physical Activity, Email: morgan.buckley@ucc.ie
