About us:
Empire Fighting Chance is a sport for development charity. We use psychologically informed non-contact boxing programmes that reach around 10,000 vulnerable young people every year. We run these programmes in our gym, in schools, and through a growing network of partner organisations and affiliated amateur boxing clubs in England and Wales.
Our model features a powerful fusion of boxing and psychology, delivered by coaches and therapists that young people can trust, in a place where they feel safe, cared for and understood.
With Empire Fighting Chance, young people gain support in ways that are natural and enjoyable, encouraging them to turn up, relax, engage in the work, and go on to make positive changes to their lives.
About the job:
Do you have a drive for breaking down the barriers of traditional therapeutic services, whilst supporting young people to address mental health issues in a creative and non-stigmatising way?
We are passionate about breaking down the barriers that often prevent young people from accessing the mental health support they need. In many of the communities in which we work, mental health issues are stigmatised and rarely discussed. Traditional clinic-based therapy can be difficult to access and intimidating for young people, leading to reluctance in seeking the necessary help and opening up. Our approach is to bring mental health services out of clinics and into the communities where young people live.
Box Therapy combines non-contact boxing with psychologically informed interventions with the primary aim being to support and empower young people to improve their emotional wellbeing and mental health. Box Therapy most commonly takes place in a boxing gym setting, where our therapists use non-contact boxing as a physical outlet to help young people build trust, manage their emotions, and make positive changes in their lives. We also deliver Box Therapy in school-based settings.
This is an incredible opportunity to play a key role in a thriving charity that is supporting youth in our community through an active and engaging approach to improving lives. Every day, we meet young people who are facing significant challenges in their lives such as mental health issues, chaotic home lives, difficulties at school or involvement in crime.
With your commitment, timely input, and ability to think outside the box, we can dramatically increase the impact of our work, and improve the mental health outcomes of those who engage with our services and promote new and innovative ways to break down the barriers many young people experience in accessing critical mental health support.
We are also embarking on an exciting journey to take Boxing Therapy to the nation. We have just finished our inaugural training programme to create and support new Boxing Therapists from across the UK.

Box Therapy is an accessible way for young people to receive support from a qualified practitioner in a non-clinical, non-intimidating setting.
As a Boxing Therapist you will be expected to work with young people with moderate to severe and enduring mental health issues in both 1:1 and group settings.

- To increase understanding and awareness of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and how this informs Box Therapy.

- To work collaboratively with other organisations/agencies.
