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 support young people who are passionate about football but disengaged at school, in order to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. We do this by providing long-term, intensive support, built around relationships and young people’s passions, in the classroom and beyond.

We are an asset-based organisation with a view that all our support must build from a young person’s strengths and passions. We are commissioned by schools to support students who are at risk of exclusion to re-engage with learning and develop positive relationships with peers and adults. We currently work with 1,500 students who are 12 to 16 years old across 99 school programmes in Greater Manchester, London, Kent and Essex. Alongside this, we have built strong partnerships with a host of reputable brands including Nike, Gillette, the
English FA, and Salesforce.

to expand our networks further. Though experience of charitable fundraising is helpful, it is by no means essential. We are looking for someone with a track record of building successful long-term relationships, regardless of which sector you have previously worked in.

● Deliver and grow a portfolio of FBB’s corporate partnerships to generate income
and engagement.
● Build and maintain new partnership opportunities, using new business tools and
processes to maximise long and short-term income generation for the charity.
● Ensure delivery plans, KPIs and agreements are in place for all partnerships.

and professional fashion, always aiming to exceed expectations and targets.
● Liaise regularly with relevant internal teams to ensure partnership objectives are
achieved e.g. Programmes and Finance Departments.
● Represent FBB at partner meetings, presentations and events.
● Ensure cultivation plans are in place and executed for all partnerships, with the
view of extending length, remit and value.
● Provide excellent stewardship to each corporate contact, giving them a first-class
experience of FBB.
● Work with colleagues across the organisation to leverage FBB assets and build
strong and creative partnership proposals to target CSR teams and Marketing
teams.

● Ensure income and activity is recorded according to FBB’s policy and
procedures.
● Ensure all partnership activities comply with Fundraising Regulator guidelines,
GDPR, VAT and other legal requirements. Contribute to the wider Account
Management and Corporate Partnerships strategies, including taking on
management of special projects as and when required.

Vision 2026 is an agenda for growth and change agreed by the Blackburn Diocesan Synod in 2015. It challenges our parishes to be healthy churches which can transform the communities in which they are set. It also lays out four ways in which this over-arching goal can be achieved: Making Disciples, Being Witnesses, Growing Leaders and Inspiring Children and Young People for Jesus Christ.

Two central aspirations under Vision 2026 are to see 10 new Strategic Church Plants by 2026 and to see a step change in ministry with those aged 11 - 16. Resourcing Churches are key to realising these aspirations and in early 2021 we were successful in our application for £3.5 million Strategic Development Funding from the Church Commissioners to part-fund new Resourcing Churches in Blackpool and Blackburn. The project to establish and develop these two new Resourcing Churches is titled ‘Lighting Up New Generations’ and runs from July 2021 to June 2026.

The Project Manager will manage this new project as well as playing an important role in the wider delivery of Vision 2026 through analysing and reporting on statistics and data, communicating stories relating to Vision 2026, monitoring the realisation of aspirations under the Vision 2026 Implementation Plan (2021 – 2024), and working with the Director of Vision Delivery to encourage and enable the network of volunteer Vision Champions.

We are looking for someone who is excited about the vision of seeing Healthy Churches Transforming Communities across Lancashire with a real passion for the role that Resourcing Churches can play in delivering the Vision. They will need excellent written and verbal communication skills as the role will involve regular communication and interaction with ordained and lay colleagues across the diocese and national church. Strong project management skills and experience with the ability to analyse complex datasets and produce strategically useful reports are also essential.

For an informal conversation about the role please contact: Director of Vision Delivery, Carolyn Barton, details available via the recruitment pack.

All interviews to take place at the Diocesan Offices, Clayton House, Blackburn, BB1 2QE
