Who are we

Our purpose is to enrich lives, introduce more people to rugby union and develop the sport for future generations. Our three core activities fall into these focus areas: 

• Rugby – supporting rugby from grassroots to performance level 
• Commercial – building partnerships and hosting matches and events

• Running the business - ensuring our organization and people can thrive

   

There are so many different opportunities to be a part of England Rugby, whether that’s by engaging with the community, sitting on our legal team, getting the best out of our partnerships, helping to decide what the next Red Roses media campaign looks like or supporting our England teams, from performance analysis to physiotherapy!

We are pushing ourselves to create a more inclusive culture every day through role modelling our BACK behaviours which stand for Brave, Accountable, Collaborative and Keep improving. Each year we hold our BACK awards where we highlight the achievements of colleagues that have exemplified each of the behaviours.

We are determined to grow the game, and this is reflected in our core objective to drive rugby union to better reflect the diversity of society. We are aware that rugby, and sports in general, has not always been as welcoming an environment for everyone as we would like, and we are working hard to make rugby a more inclusive space for all identities.

We have network groups that provide peer-to-peer support and drive forward change internally. We support colleagues to develop, and each colleague has access to a personal coaching platform that can provide same-day one-to-one coaching. We are pushing ourselves to create a more inclusive culture every day through role modelling our BACK behaviours which stand for Brave, Accountable, Collaborative and Keep improving. Through our partnerships and activities, we are thrilled to provide a fantastic range of benefits that are available to all colleagues.
