Full-time Football Coach

In 2018, Bloomsbury Football Foundation started with four kids and a bag of footballs on a housing estate in Camden. Today, we reach over 6,500 children and young people every week across London and we're just getting started.

We exist because not every child grows up with the same opportunities to play, belong, and progress. Too many young people are locked out of the game by cost, circumstance, or geography. We're changing that and using football, the world's most popular sport, as a powerful vehicle for health, wellbeing, and social change. It's not about producing stars. It's about shaping better futures.

In just a few years, our income has grown from £1m to over £5m. We're now expanding beyond London into areas of deprivation across the country, with ambitions to reach over 40,000 young people every week by 2031. No other sport-for-good charity in the UK has achieved scale at this level. We intend to be the first.

To get there, we need people who believe what we believe that football has the unique power to change lives. Forward, together.

Essential:
UEFA C coaching qualification (or equivalent) 
Up-to-date Safeguarding and First Aid certificates 
Experience working with children and young people in a sporting or educational setting 
Knowledge of Leicester and its communities, with existing local networks an advantage 
Flexibility to work mornings, evenings and weekends (up to 6 days per week) 
The right to live and work in the UK (we do not sponsor visas) 

Desirable:
Experience delivering inclusive or specialist football provision (disability, refugee, or girls' football) 
Experience working in a charity or social enterprise 

At Bloomsbury, belonging isn't just something we create for the young people we serve it's something we live as an organisation and is embedded into core values. We are committed to building a team that reflects the communities we work in, and we actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, and identities.

We particularly welcome applications from women and people from underrepresented groups, who remain underrepresented in both the sport and charity sectors. We know that the best idea wins regardless of who it comes from, and we are proud to be building an organisation where everyone has a place to play, belong, and progress.
