Bloomsbury Football Foundation

Who we are

A letter from Charlie Hyman, Founder & CEO

Thank you for your interest in joining Bloomsbury Football Foundation.

We are a charity that believes football has the unique power to change lives. We use the magic of the game to give young people a place to play, a community to belong to, and the tools to move forward in life. We work in some of London’s most deprived communities, where too many young people are priced out of football and left without the opportunities they deserve.

I started Bloomsbury in 2018 with four children and a bag of footballs on a housing estate in Camden. Six years later, we now reach over 6,500 young people every week, operating across nine London boroughs with a team of more than 100 staff. We have built something that works - and the data proves it.

We are now entering a pivotal phase of our journey.

Our ambition is to grow from supporting 6,500 young people to 20,000 by 2028, to build the systems and leadership needed to take our model national, and ultimately to be present in every city and town in the country. Achieving this ambition depends on the people who make up Bloomsbury - their commitment, creativity and belief in what we are trying to achieve.

The role you are applying for will play an important part in this next stage of growth. Whether supporting delivery on the ground or helping to strengthen our organisation behind the scenes, every role at Bloomsbury contributes directly to our impact and to the young people we serve.

We are looking for people who believe, as we do, that great organisations are built by great people. People who care deeply about our mission, who bring both skill and heart to their work, and who are excited by the challenge of helping a fast-growing, mission-driven charity reach its potential.

This is an opportunity to be part of something meaningful - not just to fill a role, but to help shape the future of Bloomsbury Football Foundation and the communities we work in.

If you share our belief that every child deserves a place to play, belong and progress, I hope you will consider applying.
