About Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation

We are the official charity of Brighton and Hove Albion FC, using the power of football to change lives. We are passionate about delivering high quality, inclusive and impactful community programmes that help children, young people, and adults get active, learn new skills and improve their wellbeing throughout Sussex. If you share our commitment to making a difference in our communities then we’d love you to be part of the team.

Inspire the next generation through our flagship Premier League Kicks!

Premier League Kicks harnesses the power of sport to inspire young people to be their best selves. Designed for those at risk of anti-social behaviour, youth violence, or from underserved areas, the programme offers regular access to football, mentoring, personal development, and positive pathways.

As a Lead Coach, you won’t just lead sessions, you’ll be a role model, mentor, and motivator, helping young people unlock their potential both on and off the pitch.

Is this the role for you

To be in the game, you’ll need to hold a UEFA C Licence along with up-to-date FA Emergency Aid and Safeguarding certificates as a minimum. You’ll also bring hands-on experience from the football world and a proven track record of working with young people, particularly those who may be vulnerable or face challenging circumstances.

If you’re someone who knows how to lead, connect, and inspire through sport, then you might just be the perfect fit.
