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.

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.
