We are looking for a passionate individual who wants to learn to deliver our long term, intensive wrap-around intervention in schools.

The FBB model puts young people's passions and strengths at the heart of their development to help them thrive in secondary school.

We need someone who is deeply committed to changing the life chances of young people and has the energy, empathy and adaptability to deliver the support young people deserve to thrive in school and beyond.

You will be highly motivated, with high standards for yourself and others. We're seeking someone caring, ambitious and keen to learn who loves working with young people.

You will have a strong moral compass and a proven commitment to really make a difference to young people's lives.

Who are we?:

FBB is one of the leading educational charities and youth brands in the UK.

Established in 2014, we have undergone impressive growth in the past couple of years and are now at an exciting stage of our journey.

We currently work with 2000 students across 130 Secondary School programmes in Greater Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Lancashire, Yorkshire, London, Kent and Essex.

Alongside this, we have built strong partnerships with a host of brands such as Nike.

In the next stage of our journey FBB aims to become
the leading specialist charity for disengaged young people and the best place to work with young people in the UK.

Young people are at the heart of everything we do.

From decisions made at Senior Leadership and our Board, to how we design activations with partners to ensure young people get the most out of them.

We're working in a system that has been designed to limit the potential of many young people, and we know that to make real change, we need to work hard and differently.

FBB can be fast-paced and intensive at times, but our focus on working culture and support is prioritised to ensure staff are in a position to 'Go Beyond' for young people.

We place relationships at the heart of what we do. That's not only about our work with young people, but equally important with our colleagues. We strive to do things differently at FBB. We don't believe that work should be the thing you dread on a Sunday evening.

If you're keen to throw yourself into new environments and develop meaningful relationships with people from all walks of life, then FBB is the workplace for you.

We're also BIG on learning.

This means that we dedicate a full day of everyone's week to learning and development, during this day practitioners take part in our innovative training programme which includes chances to receive training from external experts, connect with colleagues and reflect.

As a young and ambitious team, we are constantly finding the next opportunities to develop. We like to throw our hat in the ring for things we've never tried before.

FBB is a place where you can be introduced to multiple different aspects of work:

our focus on cross-team collaboration means you'll have the opportunity to work on projects in Brand, Comms, Operations, Culture and Programmes.

We also don't mind the conventional stuff:
there's an FBB reading list, opportunities for reflection and external training budgets too

FBB is recognised in the sector as innovative and thought-leading.

We are always on the hunt for talented and ambitious people to join the team and contribute to our vision of becoming a leader in supporting young people to thrive and become the best versions of themselves.
