Job Description

Are you passionate about helping people lead healthier, more active lives? Do you want to make a meaningful difference by reducing social isolation, improving mental wellbeing, and creating opportunities for people to connect within their local community?

If so, Fulham FC Foundation would love to hear from you.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, motivated, and committed Health & Wellbeing Coach to join our team on a 20 hour per week contract. Reporting to the Health & Wellbeing Manager, you will play a vital role in delivering high-quality sport, physical activity, and wellbeing programmes that positively influence people of all ages across our local communities.

Through your work, you will help participants improve their physical health and mental wellbeing, build confidence, and develop meaningful social connections. Our programmes use the power of sport and physical activity as a vehicle to create lasting change, with a focus on supporting healthier lifestyles and stronger, more connected communities.

As a Health & Wellbeing Coach, you will deliver a range of community-based activities designed to improve physical health, reduce loneliness and isolation, and support positive mental wellbeing. You will also work closely with local partners and stakeholders, helping to ensure our programmes deliver meaningful outcomes that extend beyond participation in sport and physical activity.

The successful candidate will have experience delivering football, sport, physical activity, or health improvement programmes within community settings, hold a minimum FA Introduction to Coaching Football (Level 1 equivalent) qualification, and demonstrate a strong commitment to the values and charitable mission of Fulham FC Foundation.

Our Health & Wellbeing programmes are delivered across Lambeth, Merton, Hammersmith & Fulham, Wandsworth, and Kingston. Sessions take place primarily on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, so we are looking for an individual who can travel independently across these boroughs and is available to work on these days.

Why Join Fulham FC Foundation?

At Fulham FC Foundation, we are committed to using the power of sport to transform lives and strengthen communities. By joining our team, you will:
• Work alongside a highly experienced, passionate, and supportive delivery team,
• Access a range of training and professional development opportunities,
• Continue to develop your coaching, facilitation, and community engagement skills,
• Play a key role in delivering life-changing programmes across South West London,
• Make a genuine difference to the lives of people within our local communities.

We strive for service excellence in everything we do and set high standards for all staff representing the Foundation. In return, we provide a supportive and inclusive environment where you can grow professionally while making a real and lasting impact on the people and communities we serve.

First stage interviews will take place in person on Friday 13th November at Craven Cottage. Please ensure you are available to interview on this date prior to applying.

Second stage interviews will be organised with individual candidates following the completion of the first stage interviews.
