Brentford FC Community Sports Trust
With community work spanning three decades, Brentford FC Community Sports Trust has established itself as a pioneering organisation for the local community. It uses the power of sport to educate, motivate and inspire people from all walks of life.
Working in partnership with Brentford FC, the Trust offers a portfolio of programmes in education, health, sports participation and community engagement. The Trust has won the ‘Football League Community Club of the Year’ award four times and now employs more than 150 members of staff.
The Role
We are looking for a passionate, hardworking Team member to serve our customers at our new Clubhouse Café at Gunnersbury Park. The café is part of the new Community Sports hub at the site and will also double as a social and community space linking into community projects for all ages. In this capacity you will work closely with all members of our new team.
We are partnering with the homeless charity Change Please to create a west London training hub. Our founder partners in the project are The University of West London (UWL) and the Premier League and Professional Footballers Association Fund. We are also linking up with the University to offer a range of immersive opportunities for their catering and business students.
This is a unique role as the usual aspects of a hospitality business will need to be balanced with the social and community programme. This makes for an enriching role dealing with a range of people and organisations.
The Trust is a progressive, driven organisation with many facets. The Clubhouse will become one of our key hubs, also working with our stadium hub. This is a unique opportunity to combine sport and physical activity with nutrition and social projects. If you are up for the challenge of becoming part of our growing team we would like to hear from you.
