An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our Health and Wellbeing team in the role of Mental Wellbeing Practitioner, whose primary objectives will be to develop and deliver mental health initiatives as part of our More Than A Game programme.
Fulham FC Foundation (the Foundation) is the official registered charity of Premier League football club, Fulham FC.
Our mission is “Building Better Lives Through Sport”, and our vision is “A Healthy, Inclusive and Thriving Community”. In order to achieve this mission and vision, we engage with over 11,000 people every year across an exciting and inspiring range of projects and programmes, providing opportunities that positively impact the lives of local people.
Our More Than A Game programme aims to improve the mental health of people across South West London, specifically children 5 to 11, young people 11 to 18, children and adults with a disability and adults most at risk of loneliness and social isolation. The post holder will need to be dedicated, supportive, agile and self-motivated. They will also require experience of developing and delivering evidence-based mental health workshops and interventions, working with a diverse range of stakeholders such as the NHS or mental health charities as well as an understanding of working with young people. The role will also require a flexible approach to working during the evenings and weekends when required to deliver mental health initiatives in the community and support the wider Foundation.
In the role you will have the opportunity to work creatively, with responsibility for planning, developing and delivering innovative programmes that improve the mental wellbeing of people across our local community. As part of our Mental Wellbeing team, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues at Fulham Football Club to use the power of football to enhance and develop our initiatives. You will also be supported by partner organisations, for example through our partnerships with Movember and the Premier League Charitable Fund.
Our employees are central to everything we do, and we appreciate how our success is intrinsically linked to the people who work across the organisation. If you’re seeking an exciting and rewarding challenge in a collaborative and committed charity, and you feel you possess the relevant personal attributes, we’d love to hear from you.
