About Street Soccer

Street Soccer is a charity using football to create lasting change in the lives of isolated and excluded adults and young people. We run 60 sessions a week of free, inclusive and judgement-free football. These sessions provide person-centred support to players facing a number of challenges including mental health, homelessness, long term unemployment, problem substance use, criminal justice and seeking asylum. Our mission is to create hope and opportunity for all.

We support thousands of players a year on their journey to positive change by providing a safe space, trusting relationships and a sense of belonging. We fight isolation and exclusion by bringing people together, building confidence and creating supportive communities. We support people of all ages and backgrounds through relationship-based support, focusing on trust and personal development, supporting everyone to set and achieve their own goals. Thanks to the support of Street Soccer, 82% of players say that their quality of life has improved.

Lived experience is at the heart of what we do, with over 80% of our staff having lived experience of the challenges our players face.

97% of players think that Street Soccer is a unique organisation. With 15 years of experience delivering positive change through football, we are now working in more communities than ever, with city hubs in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and South London, as well as a network of sessions across 6 other local authorities. 

To support our work, we generate income through a range of fundraising and income-generating initiatives, including donations, high-profile fundraising events, social enterprise initiatives and grant funding from trusts and foundations. These efforts are underpinned by inspiring storytelling, strategic marketing, and meaningful partnerships that connect our supporters with the impact of our work.

We’re looking for an experienced and motivated individual to join our team and drive forward our business engagement strategy. This is a key role in the Income Generation Team, responsible for securing, developing and managing strategic partnerships with companies that share our values and want to make a difference.

You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation to develop meaningful partnerships that generate income, raise awareness and create new ways for people to engage with Street Soccer. This role is key to strengthening our long-term sustainability, expanding our profile and supporter base, and ultimately creating more opportunities for the players we support across the country.

Experience working in the non-profit sector is desirable but not essential. We also welcome applicants from commercial sectors with a strong background in sales, partnerships or account management who can demonstrate an understanding of values led work and relationship-based engagement.
