Role

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, 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.

The Marketing & Communications Co-Ordinator will play a key role in shaping how we communicate our mission, and build lasting relationships with our audiences and partners. This role is central to ensuring Street Soccer’s long term sustainability and helping the organisation to grow its profile, reach new supporters, and ultimately create more opportunities for the players we support across the country.

Role Purpose 

The Marketing & Communications Co-Ordinator will lead the development and delivery of Street Soccer’s marketing strategy, brand presence, internal and external communications. This role will ensure our mission is clearly communicated, our stories are told with impact, and our supporters are inspired to engage, support, and take action.

Working closely with our front-line teams across the country, our central team in Edinburgh and partners, you will plan and deliver high-quality campaigns, manage our online presence, and be responsible for content creation.
