Working as part of the Premier League Foundation Programmes Team, the Premier League Kicks Executive will support the effective delivery and ongoing development of the Premier League Kicks programme across England and Wales. The role will work closely with colleagues across the Foundation, including the Community Engagement Manager, as well as football club charities and key partners, to ensure high-quality, evidence-led programme delivery aligned to strategic priorities. This includes supporting funded organisations to implement programme activity, monitoring performance and outcomes, and contributing to continuous improvement in delivery standards.

A key aspect of the role will be supporting the oversight of the Premier League Kicks Police Partnerships Fund, ensuring strong governance, value for money, and impact aligned to programme objectives. The postholder will work collaboratively with police forces and wider partners to help strengthen community safety outcomes, reflecting the programme’s focus on supporting young people and creating safer, stronger, more inclusive communities.

Who We Are

The Premier League Foundation was established in 2010 to distribute funding provided by the Premier League and its partners to professional football club charities across England and Wales, supporting them in their delivery in thousands of community venues and schools across the country. A total of 106 club charities are supported across the Premier League, English Football League, and National League. 5 million individuals have benefitted from the charity, which aims to foster positive sporting, health, personal and education opportunities for children, young people, and the wider community.

The Premier League Foundation is an equal opportunities employer and strives to create an inclusive culture where talent can flourish. We believe in the potential of everyone and open our doors to those who share those values. All appointments will be made based on merit; however, we particularly encourage applications from women, people from ethnically diverse communities, LGBTQ+ people, and disabled people.

Our hybrid-working model also allows you some variety on your place of work, offering you the chance to work from home on some days each week. You will attend the office or site visits in line with our company policy.
