THE ROLE - RELATIONSHIP MANAGER

Background:

The Football Foundation Hubs programme is a large-scale capital investment fund with the aim of improving lives and communities through the creation of multi-pitch facilities for grassroots football that also provide a great place for participation in other sports and healthy recreation.

Sixteen Hubs have been built across eight local authority areas so far, a further five sites are under construction, and we have a pipeline of 11 projects developing funding applications. As a portfolio, this represents over 100 artificial and 130 grass pitches backed by £140 million potential investment from the Football Foundation.

The projects we support through the Hubs programme deliver great participation and social outcomes, but our aim is to make our investments go even further. The programme utilises a special purpose vehicle charitable trust model, allowing football to have more responsibility and involvement in the management of grassroots facilities and ring-fences the revenue generated for reinvestment back into each local area.

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
