About Bloomsbury Football Foundation
In 2018, Bloomsbury Football Foundation (BFF) started with four kids and a single bag of footballs in Camden. Today, we touch the lives of over 6,500 children and young people every week across London, expanding to areas of deprivation nationwide. Through football, our mission is clear: breaking barriers to accessibility so every young person—regardless of circumstance—can flourish.
Our £5m+ income (from just £1m a decade ago) reflects our scale and ambition: reaching over 40,000 young people weekly by 2031. No other sport-for-good charity in the UK grows at our pace. The key? Using the world’s most beloved sport to create healthier futures, stronger communities, and real opportunities.
We don’t churn out stars—we shape them into better people.

The role begins at Entry level, but we’re looking for dynamic candidates—novices or veterans—who are drawn to building from the ground up and will thrive at scale.
