Job Description

WHO WE ARE

Bradford City FC Community Foundation is the official charitable arm of Bradford City AFC. Guided by our vision -- "Working together to inspire and unite our city" -- we use the power of sport to create positive, lasting change across the Bradford district.

Established in 1988 and a registered charity since 2007, we deliver inclusive, high-impact programmes in sport, education, health, and social inclusion. Our work supports people of all ages and backgrounds, with a strong focus on those who need it most.

Each year, we engage thousands through school coaching, disability sport, mental health support, community events, and inclusive matchday experiences. Our City Hub and other outreach initiatives provide safe, welcoming spaces where individuals and families can thrive.

With a dedicated team and strong community partnerships, we generate over 13 million in social value annually -- helping to build a stronger, healthier, and more connected Bradford.

ABOUT THE ROLE
