This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing charity and launch a brand-new community programme in Leicester. Using the power of football, the organisation creates opportunities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them build confidence, develop life skills and feel part of their community.
In this role you'll have real ownership from day one. You'll build partnerships, lead local delivery and help establish a programme with ambitious plans for growth.
The RoleYou'll be responsible for launching and running the Leicester programme, working closely with the national team and two full-time coaches. You'll:
- Lead the day-to-day operation of the Leicester programme.
- Build partnerships with schools, businesses and community organisations.
- Coordinate football sessions, facilities, equipment and scheduling.
- Support and manage programme delivery with local coaches.
- Manage budgets, reporting and programme performance.

- Outstanding organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Confidence building relationships with a variety of stakeholders.
- A proactive mindset and willingness to get stuck in.
- A genuine passion for football and its ability to bring communities together.

- Launch a brand-new operation from the ground up.
- Take genuine ownership from day one.
- Help shape the future of the organisation's expansion.
- Make a lasting difference to thousands of young people.
