Newcastle have lost all five Prem games this season, and have not picked up a single point.
Their scoring tallies of 70 points and 10 tries are comfortably the lowest in the league as they sit bottom.
So Jones, whose most recent job has been with Moana Pasifika in Super Rugby in New Zealand, will work alongside Dickens as they look to improve that aspect of the Red Bulls’ game.
“Stephen has a wealth of experience, certainly as a player and with various jobs within the isles and then recently in New Zealand,” Dickens said.
“It was something we highlighted about six or seven weeks ago, adding to the coaching group and it’s brilliant that we’ve gone out and got someone of his calibre.”
