About Faversham Strike Force FC
Faversham Strike Force FC is one of Kent's largest grassroots football charities, supporting more than 870 members across 58 teams and delivering opportunities for players of all ages and abilities. Our Men's First Team plays in the Kent County League and proudly represents the club in both The Emirates FA Cup and The Isuzu FA FA Vase, providing the highest level of football within our player pathway. The club is powered by 180 volunteers and generates an estimated £2.3 million of social value every year through football, volunteering and community programmes.

Working alongside the First Team management and the club's senior leadership, you'll help provide strategic direction, strengthen community and commercial relationships, and ensure the Men's First Team continues to grow both on and off the pitch.
