Grant Support Executive, Football Foundation

The Football Foundation have vacancies for Grant Support Executives: one permanent position and one 12-month fixed-term position.

Location – Hybrid working split between the Foundation’s office in London and home.

There are two vacancies available: one permanent position and one 12-month fixed-term position.

We are the Football Foundation - the Premier League, the FA and government’s charity that delivers outstanding grassroots facilities, more and better places to play, transforming lives and communities where it is needed most.

To help us with this important mission, we currently have vacancies for Grant Support Executives. Our Grant Support Executives form part of a pro‑active, centralised function who support each other and work together to deliver the greatest impact wherever it’s needed the most.

The role includes carrying out the assessment of capital and revenue grants; preparing and formatting assessment reports, drafting offer letters, processing claims and ensuring key information is captured within internal systems and working together as part of a united team to provide administrative support across the Foundation - always delivering high levels of customer service.

As the biggest sport charity in the country, we’re a unique partnership between key football partners with a shared goal – ensuring every community in England has a great place to play.

We’re incredibly proud of the difference we’ve made to grassroots sport up and down the country since we started our journey, but we’re not slowing down any time soon.

What are we looking for?

We would love to hear from you if you understand grant application processes and excellent customer service, coupled with knowledge of how sport can be used for community benefit. You will also need experience of administration processes, working in a varied team, and communicating with colleagues and customers remotely.

We’re looking for a team player with a keen attention to detail and strong organisational skills who takes pride in delivering excellent customer and administrative service.

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 Foundation achieve our charitable and strategic objectives.

What can we offer you?

The salary for this role is £27,000 per annum.

You will initially be entitled to 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays. The Foundation also offer a generous pension scheme (8% employer contribution), free healthcare provision, a monthly gym subsidy, death in service benefit free match tickets and access to selected events at Wembley

We are committed to helping our team members maintain a healthy work‑life balance, so offer flexible working around core hours to help achieve that.
