We are looking for an inspiring individual who can make things happen and deliver change, whilst also maintaining a welcoming environment for all local residents and supporting well established groups in the centre.

Who are we

FBB is one of the leading educational charities and youth brands in the UK. Established in 2014, we have undergone impressive growth in the past couple of years and are now at an exciting stage of our journey. We currently work with 1,400 students across 92 Secondary School programmes in Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire, Yorkshire, London, Kent and Essex. Alongside this, we have built strong partnerships with a host of brands such as Nike. In the next stage of our journey FBB aims to become the leading specialist charity for disengaged young people and the best place to work with young people in the UK.

Young people are at the heart of everything we do. From decisions made at Senior Leadership and our Board, to how we design activations with partners to ensure young people get the most out of them. We’re working in a system that has been designed to limit the potential of many young people, and we know that to make real change, we need to work hard and differently. FBB can be fast-paced and intensive at times, but our focus on working culture and support is prioritised to ensure staff are in a position to ‘Go Beyond’ for young people.

We place relationships at the heart of what we do. That’s not only about our work with young people, but equally important with our colleagues. We strive to do things differently at FBB. We don’t believe that work should be the thing you dread on a Sunday evening. If you’re keen to throw yourself into new environments and develop meaningful relationships with people from all walks of life, then FBB is the workplace for you.

To develop communication materials to support FBB’s work, including our digital marketing, website copy, case studies, emails, presentations and reports.

To collaborate with colleagues to develop and build effective asks and cases for support for different donor segments based on their interests and comms preferences.

Essential skills and experience: 

• Experience building relationships with an extensive
network of individuals

the lives of young people, including non income
generating benefits such as advocacy, volunteering, and
networking
