About Bloomsbury Football

Bloomsbury Football is a charity using the power of football to change the game for young people in London. We believe that every child - regardless of their background - should have access to high-quality football experiences that help them reach their full potential both on and off the pitch.

Our Schools & Communities Programme delivers sessions before, during, and after school, as well as in the evenings, providing opportunities for children to play, learn, and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

The Role

We are looking for passionate, enthusiastic, and reliable coaches to deliver exceptional football sessions across our Schools & Communities Programme. This is a part-time role ideal for coaches who want to make a difference in their local community while continuing to grow and develop under the guidance of our FA-affiliated Head of Coaching.

You’ll play a key role in providing fun, inclusive, and structured sessions that improve participants’ technical ability, physical health, and social and emotional wellbeing.
