We are the Football Foundation - the Premier League, the FA and government’s charity that delivers outstanding grassroots facilities, more and better places to play, transforming lives and communities where it is needed most.
As a Technical Project Executive, you’ll play a key role in delivering high-quality sports facilities by guiding and supporting applicants through the technical aspects of capital grant projects. Working within an experienced team, you’ll assess the design, procurement, and delivery of construction projects—safeguarding the Foundation’s investment and ensuring compliance with national standards.
Day to day, you’ll review technical plans, carry out site inspections, advise on risks, and help process grants efficiently. You’ll also support applicants throughout the funding journey and respond to technical enquiries.
This is an exciting opportunity for a newly qualified graduate—or a more experienced graduate seeking a new direction. You’ll gain hands-on experience in all aspects of facility development, supported by experienced Technical Project Managers (TPMs) who will mentor you as you progress towards becoming a TPM yourself.
Joining at the early stages of your career, you’ll benefit from a supportive, collaborative environment. The Foundation is committed to helping you build the skills and confidence needed to step into a full TPM role within 2–3 years.

This year, the Foundation will be investing more money than ever into facilities across England and is committed to improving the experience of playing football for everyone.

You’ll have a sound understanding of construction principles, procurement, and project management, with a keen eye for detail and a methodical approach to reviewing designs and technical documentation.
Strong interpersonal skills are key. You’ll be comfortable working with a range of people — from contractors and clients to volunteers — and able to explain technical matters in plain English. We’re looking for someone who can engage and inspire our applicants.
You’ll be organised, accurate, and adaptable, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities. Strong IT skills, particularly in Excel, are essential, along with a positive, can-do attitude and a genuine desire to learn.

It is essential that you live within the Thames Valley region, or close enough to commute
Working location: mostly remote work with some travel required. You will deliver a face-to-face service to clients in their own home or safe meeting place across the Thames Valley area as well as providing support by phone, email or other means to suit the service user. We take a person-centred approach so the amount of travel will vary depending on your caseload at the time. You’re in control of your own diary.
Why this role is important: Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads. For families affected, the emotional and practical challenges are immense. As a Caseworker, you will provide trauma-informed care to individuals and families suffering from the sudden bereavement or life-altering injury of a loved one. Working mostly remotely, with some home visits to service users, you’ll offer vital emotional and practical support—including helping them access therapeutic resources, financial assistance, and guidance through the complexities of medical and legal processes.
About Brake: Brake is a renowned and respected road safety charity with a 30-year history dedicated to supporting people affected by road crashes and advocating for safer streets.
The role: This is a rewarding role where every day brings the opportunity to make a positive difference to people's lives. We regularly receive testimonials from service users describing the life-changing impact of receiving support from our caseworkers in the National Road Victim Service.
You'll join a closely knit team of fellow caseworkers, each using their individual experience and skills to provide person-centred support to victims. This provides a ready-made peer group who share best practice and knowledge and support each other so, in turn, they can best support road victims. There's no sugar coating it, this isn't an easy role, it requires a special type of person with strong resilience, but the reward is a strong sense of purpose, every day. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so we have strong support systems in place to support our caseworker's wellbeing, including clinical supervision.
What we offer:
- A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day end of year shutdown)
- Birthday day off
- Flexible working (choose a working pattern to suit you between the hours of 8am-6pm Mon-Fri)
- Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave
- Death in service benefit
- Pension
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Clinical supervision and excellent support
- A rewarding role with purpose
- Be part of a skilled, friendly team with an engaged Board of Trustees
- Opportunity to attend prestigious events such as the Brake annual reception and awards (if you want to)
Who we're looking for
Full training will be provided under the guidance of our dedicated Training Officer. Our induction program has been developed to equip caseworkers with the skills they need to provide high quality support to road victims and covers topics such as being trauma-informed, safeguarding and risk management. We're open to candidates from all sorts of backgrounds, as long as you're a compassionate, self-starter with a background in providing high-quality emotional support and advocacy. Your experience in roles within the NHS, any health and social care, road safety, counselling, the police and family liaison officers, lived experience or any type of casework could make you an ideal candidate.
Essential Requirements:
-
A full, clean UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle (travel expenses are reimbursed)
-
Resident in the Thames Valley area.
-
Experience delivering frontline support, preferably involving sudden bereavement or heightened vulnerabilities.
-
Strong advocacy and research skills to liaise with multiple organisations on behalf of service users.
-
Competency in I.T skills to work remotely.
Desirable Experience:
Comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system and coronial process

Our vision is for every church in the Portsmouth area to provide a home for
people who’ve been homeless. We dream of ending homelessness by partnering

homes, and to see more local churches wanting to “house the homeless.”
• Develop and equip the team to ensure tenants thrive in safe, supportive
environments. We currently have 6 staff.
• Work with local churches so that their friendship & support teams are
empowered, equipped, and prayerful; promote the charity so that new
ones want to get involved.
• Ensure current investors feel engaged and valued; and promote the
charity so that new ones come on board.
• Ensure that the charity has the highest safeguarding, property and quality
standards, liaising with national and regional Hope into Action teams.
Essential attributes required:
• Proven experience in managing programs and teams with compassion and
professionalism.
• Exceptional organisational and communication skills to inspire tenants,
churches, and stakeholders.

This vision is ‘to be a safety net for people in tough times and the springboard to a brighter future.’
These are challenging times for our sector - but we like a challenge and are determined to remain financially strong and grow, so we can continue to support our clients and be a springboard to a brighter future. Which is where this role comes in! Applicants for this role will need to demonstrate experience of leading a finance team in the social housing sector or similar. This could be your first Director-level appointment, or you may be a more experienced executive leader - you’ll be working for an agile, well regarded organisation and we’re always busy, so your energy and enthusiasm will count for a lot.

The new Programmes Assistant will work with the Volunteering Manager and wider Programmes Team to
deliver this exciting Programme. The role will involve working with internal team members and external

sectors, or that you have held an equivalent role previously, as long as you can show us that you have
relevant transferable skills and an understanding of what it takes to be successful in this role.

and flexible working with this role. The role may include occasional UK travel, to visit schools, partner
organisations, attend occasional Team Awaydays, and very occasionally to visit the office.
