Charity Registration No: 1049854.

With the recent announcement that £205 million of government funding will be made available to invest in community sports facilities across England in the next three years, the Football Foundation is well-supported to continue to invest in pitches and communities across the nation. This investment will be used by the Football Foundation to target communities up and down the country who will benefit most from access to better sports facilities.

To help us with this important mission, we currently have a vacancy for a Project Manager (Programmes) to provide critical support to Local Authorities, as part of our ambitious Grass Pitch Programme. The aim of this Programme is to revolutionise the state of grass football pitches across England, ensuring that by 2030, grassroots football has 20,000 quality pitches to enjoy.

About the Football Foundation
We are the Football Foundation - the Premier League, the FA and government’s charity delivering upon a shared vision to help communities improve their local football facilities through our investment. We are the only example of a partnership between a national Government and a national sport coming together to support communities throughout the country.

Over the last 20 years we have been planting the seeds to grow grassroots football, transforming communities where demand is greatest, and the impact will be strongest. We have worked closely with local authorities, County FAs, and other passionate people in communities up and down the country to deliver over 17,000 sports projects worth over £1.8 billion and we’ve got big plans to revolutionise England’s grassroots facilities over the next decade.

About the role
This important role will require a strategic thinker, who can be flexible in working across the Grass Pitch Programme, but with specific responsibility for building our interaction with Local Authorities. You will work with approximately 100 Local Authorities over an initial three-year period to agree plans to improve their grass pitch stock in a sustainable way and drive meaningful change. There’s a great deal to get done, but this is an opportunity for the right candidate to be at the centre of transformational change for grassroots football facilities across England.

How we achieve our goals is equally important to us. We are striving to be an inclusive and diverse organisation which reflects the diverse communities, users and beneficiaries of our work and the outcomes we deliver. Becoming part of the Football Foundation team, will give you the chance to deliver a positive impact in every community in England; to help transform lives and communities through great places to play; and to be part of a supportive and inclusive staff team that works hard and plays fair to achieve its goals.

What are we looking for?
You don’t need to follow football or have a detailed knowledge of how to improve grass pitches to apply, but it is expected that you appreciate the power of sport to change lives and have a genuine interest in using your skills and experience to help the Foundation achieve our charitable and strategic objectives. 

You must have experience in a similar project management role, managing multiple projects and building and maintaining stakeholder relationships. A sound knowledge of how Local Authorities operate and the role they play within the management and maintenance of sports facilities is essential; as is an understanding of the operations and challenges faced by grassroots football clubs, community organisations, and the voluntary sector. You must have experience in producing and presenting detailed and robust reports to decision makers and leading projects and programmes with confidence. 

What can we offer you?
The salary band for this role is £37,000 - £44,000 per annum, dependent on relevant skills and experience. 

You will start on 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (which increases after 2 years), plus additional time off to volunteer. We also offer a generous pension scheme (8% employer contribution), collective bonus scheme, free health care provision, a monthly gym subsidy, interest-free season ticket loan, death in service benefit and access to selected match tickets

We are committed to helping our team members maintain a healthy work-life balance, so offer flexible working around core hours to help achieve that.

I am excited to be working with an amazing neurological organisation in search of a Project manager to focus on two new projects.

Main duties:
Project one.
Re-design and relaunch of an integral project:
The summer events are for families and children who live with a neurological Syndrome. They take place at adventure-holiday type venues across the country, to allow children and families to meet others and socialise and have fun.
The charity plan to do these events on a bigger scale, and have identified a need to improve processes, risk-management, emergency procedures etc. that ensure the events are fully safe for all and that unforeseen events can be dealt with.
The project involves thinking through the planning and implementation of these events from beginning to end; i.e. evaluation and contracting of venues, recruiting guests, event planning, staffing levels, back-up processes, safeguarding etc through to eventual feedback from participants.
The deliverable would be a detailed policy document and tools/templates covering everything necessary for the safe and successful planning and running of these events.

Project two.
The Awards:
The organisation is launching an annual Youth Creativity Awards scheme to inspire and showcase the artistic creativity - visual, musical, performance - of young people living with the syndrome.

The Awards scheme will take place entirely online. Entries will be invited through an Open Call for Entries to be advertised on the charity's website and social media. A short list for each category in both age groups will be made by the Award judges. A programme of creative activities for young people with the syndrome will run alongside the Awards.
The project involves refining the outline design of the scheme and managing the running of the Awards from initial call for entries, through submissions, judging, public voting, and showcasing of winning works in a creative 'Hall of Fame' on the charity website.
Among the responsibilities will be to specify the practicalities:
Digital format for works to be entered and the process for judging, shortlisting and final voting
Recruitment of judges, coordination of the open call for entries
Coordination of shortlisting of entries
Design and implementation of the online public vote for the final winners.
