Our vision is simple: a world in which football is the heartbeat of healthy, happy, thriving communities.

Bloomsbury Football is building a future where every young person in London has access to the life-changing power of football, regardless of background, ability, or postcode/income.

We are a high-growth, high-impact charity using the power of football to level the playing field for young people across London. Every week, over 6,200 kids take part in our programmes — regardless of background, ability, or postcode.

This isn't just another finance job. It's football for good. We’re building digital tools to scale our impact, and this is a brilliant chance to join a tech-for-good movement at an exciting growth stage. We’re scaling rapidly, aiming to reach 20,000+ young people a week by 2028, with annual fundraised income targeted to grow from £3.5m to £8m.

Our growth is powered by a relentless commitment to excellence on and off the pitch. We operate like a startup: ambitious, fast-moving, and impact-obsessed. We make decisions based on outcomes, challenge ourselves constantly, and care deeply about doing things right for the long term.

Here is more about our Strategy.

About The Role
