WORKING CULTURE
Working for FBB is demanding but ultimately a deeply rewarding experience. We take the most impactful elements of a charity and combine it with the mentality and pace of a startup to give our young people the best possible chance in life. We are not afraid to think outside the box and are driven by a sense of optimism and possibility. That being said, we are aware of the pitfalls of many start-ups who prefer to hire people who can afford to take risks and encourage the working of unsustainable hours.
Instead, we seek to nurture a developmental culture in which people care about each other and learning is championed and prized. We want to help each other to be the best possible versions of ourselves. This requires demonstrating an openness and hunger to learn combined with being given the support required to grow as a person.
We couple giving staff freedom with clear responsibilities to ensure they remain committed and want to stay with FBB for a long time. We are an organisation that has a few vital processes that must be complied with but, outside of this, we do not want to be weighed down by bureaucracy. Instead of having lots of processes, we rely on the strength of trusting relationships within a culture of feedback.

The problem was that I was too focused on being silly. When teachers would say that I was disrupting the learning of other students, I would be so baffled. But now, when other students are disrupting my learning, I’m telling them to fix up. The problem was that what I was being told in Year 8 just wouldn’t register with me. FBB helped me with this. Being with my FBB Programme Leads taught me that you can have jokes with adults while still following some rules. I began to learn that there is a time and place for where to act a certain way. FBB showed me the value of respect.

FBB practitioners are great, they are like my big cousins and they came to work here and whenever I see them I talk to them about my problems and they help solve them [...] they talk to us and help us understand. The impact on FBB is amazing I used to get a lot of detentions and behaviour problems but now I barely have any problems will anyone or teachers.

About Football Beyond Borders
FBB works with young people from areas of socio-economic disadvantage who are passionate about football but disengaged at school, to help them finish school with the skills and grades to make a successful transition into adulthood. We do this by providing long-term, intensive support, built around relationships and young people’s passions, in the classroom and beyond.
