Magic Bus UK

Who we are

Magic Bus is a non-profit organisation working to support young people from some of
the most deprived communities, to move confidently from childhood to livelihood. Our
largest operations are in India, where programmes are designed and delivered at scale,
alongside a network of international entities (Magic Bus Global, UK and Singapore),
which play a critical role in supporting the mission in India by raising funds, building
partnerships and driving global engagement. The role outlined in this job description
sits within this international structure, working across these three entities to support
and enable Magic Bus’s impact in India.

Magic Bus supports young people aged 12–25 across 22 states in India. Through
structured programmes, powered by the transformative potential of sport, we equip
young people with the skills and access to opportunities needed to thrive in life and in
the workplace. Our adolescent and livelihood programmes are measurable, scalable,
and rooted in the realities of the communities we serve, delivering impact with genuine
relevance. We work across entire ecosystems, engaging parents, families, schools and
communities to ensure young people are supported at every stage of their journey. In
February this year, we celebrated 27 years of impact, and today Magic Bus reaches over
4 million young people annually across India.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Magic Bus UK and other entities are committed to building a diverse, inclusive and
equitable organisation where everyone feels valued, respected, and able to contribute
fully. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including all gender
identities, ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, nationalities, and religious beliefs (or
none). We particularly encourage applications from individuals and communities that
are underrepresented in the charity sector. We recognise that talent and potential are
not always reflected in traditional career paths. If you feel you meet most of the criteria
but not every requirement, we would still strongly encourage you to apply. We are
committed to making our recruitment process accessible and inclusive. If you require
any adjustments at any stage, please let us know; we will be happy to support you. At
Magic Bus UK, we believe that diversity of perspectives strengthens our work and helps
us better serve the young people and communities we support
