About the Football Foundation
With the recent announcement that £205 million of government funding will be made available to invest in community sports facilities across England in the next three years, the Football Foundation is well-supported to continue to invest in pitches and communities across the nation. This investment will be used by the Football Foundation to target communities up and down the country who will benefit most from access to better sports facilities.
The role
To help us with this important mission, we currently have a vacancy for a Technical Project Manager. Working within the Technical function of the Grant Management Team, you will lead on the technical/construction aspects of capital grant projects, ensuring their design, procurement and delivery meet relevant requirements, whilst safeguarding the Foundation’s investment. You will take a hands-on approach, involving site visits and providing technical advice to a wide range of applicants – from schools and clubs to community groups.
This is an exciting opportunity to use your professional experience in construction to help improve lives and strengthen communities through grassroots football.
You don't need to follow football 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 Football Foundation achieve our charitable and strategic objectives.
What are we looking for?
You will need a construction-related degree or professional qualification (for example RICS, CIOB, RIBA or equivalent), or the equivalent experience in a construction management or technical role. Experience in sports facility construction is desirable but not essential.
You must also have great people skills and the ability to work with people at all levels, from clients and suppliers to volunteers. We are looking for someone who can inspire and excite our applicants. You must be accurate, systematic, and flexible with the ability to juggle a wide range of activities.
You must hold a current, clean driving licence, have access to your own vehicle, and be willing to undertake site visits to be able to undertake the role.
For more details about the role and full person specification, please see the Football Foundation's career page here .
What can we offer you?
In addition to a salary of £37,000 - £47,000 per annum (depending on your relevant skills and experience), you will start on 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (which increases after 2 years), plus additional time off to volunteer. We also offer a generous pension scheme (8% employer contribution), free health care provision, a monthly gym subsidy, interest-free season ticket loan, death in service benefit and access to selected match tickets.
We are committed to helping our staff maintain a healthy work-life balance, so offer flexible working hours around core hours to help you achieve that.
How can I apply?
To apply, please send your CV and a covering letter highlighting briefly and clearly how your skills, abilities and experience equip you for the role, together with your reasons for applying.
Equality and diversity commitment
We request that all applicants complete our equal opportunities form as part of the application process - you'll find the link to this in the recruitment pack on our website. This anonymous and confidential form helps the Football Foundation to build up a picture of who is applying to join the organisation, and to monitor progress in this area.

Director Quantity Surveyor
London (Holborn)
£90k - £120k - depending on experience
Are you looking to really spread your wings this year?
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone that has the confidence to put themselves out there and really build something of their own.
You would be working for an established Architecture consultancy that is looking to grow a QS division in their London office.
You would be a part of the Board of Directors with the incentive to gain equity in the business down the line.
The business currently has 75 across the board including an established cost arm of the business based in their midland’s office. What they don’t have is a strong QS presence in London, which is where you come in.
You may already be an established Director with a strong network, or you may be looking for that step up from Associate Director level – either way you will have work available to deliver from the offset with recourse available if needed.
You will also have a huge architectural client base to tap into when it come to the business development aspect – the majority of projects they currently deliver are within residential but if you have opportunities/contacts within other sectors then that would be more than welcomed.
The London office, a very smart setup based in Holborn, currently holds 23 Architects, with enough space for you to grow your team. The ideal plan would be to bring in 3 people underneath you by the end of the year and have an established team of 8/10 by 2025 – but this plan isn’t rigid, the growth is going to be completely organic under your direction.
The company pride themselves on having a great culture, and work life balance for them has always been key to that – flexible working is available although they do like people to be in at least 3 days per week!
