BACKGROUND
The latest research suggesting that the number of children and young people at risk of hunger has rocketed to 2.7 million* means that one in five children don't have enough to eat. When a child is too hungry to learn, when they’re aching for something to eat, they can’t concentrate. They can’t absorb information. Big feelings and worries can be impossible to control. They fall behind in their studies.
Magic Breakfast provide a nutritious and filling breakfast to over 200,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target the children most in need without barrier or stigma. Magic Breakfast are ambitious to grow our impact to remove hunger as a barrier to learning for all children and young people in the UK.
The new UK government’s Children’s Wellbeing Bill outlined in the King’s Speech, includes a requirement for free school breakfast clubs in every English primary school. This is a fantastic start towards ending child morning hunger. Magic Breakfast’s influence will be instrumental to ensuring school breakfasts are introduced in a way that is hunger-focused and barrier free. In 2021, the Scottish Government, pledged a not yet enacted promise to provide breakfast to primary children.
Thousands of secondary school children are at risk of losing their free school breakfasts from September next year. For many of these students, this is their only opportunity to have a nutritious meal before facing a demanding school day, including taking exams.
Solutions across all UK nations are currently either not yet actioned or are severely underserving the current need. Being part of the work of Magic Breakfast is your chance, together with parents, teachers and people across the UK, to demonstrate the power of school breakfasts and to shape the way forward to end morning hunger for good.

Premier League Stadium Fund Technical Executive
The role is home-based, with regular travel to sites and facilities. Occasional travel to further locations and our main office at Wembley Stadium may be required to support business needs.
We currently have a vacancy in the Premier League Stadium Fund for a Technical Executive to support the Stadium Accreditation Programme and to support the assessment of applications to the Premier League Stadium Fund.
Premier League Stadium Fund
The Premier League Stadium Fund (PLSF) provides grants to improve stadium facilities for players, supporters, and officials. Supporting over 1,000 clubs, it aids teams in the National League System (Steps 1-6), Women’s Football Pyramid (Tiers 1-4), and newly promoted EFL clubs.
Through its Stadium Accreditation Programme, PLSF collects facility data for The FA, ensuring targeted investment. This digital process helps clubs track required works and report improvements. By funding upgrades, PLSF helps non-league and women’s clubs meet standards, avoid relegation, secure promotion, and enhance financial sustainability and matchday experiences.
Football Foundation
Whilst the Technical Executive will be responsible for the successful delivery of the Premier League Stadium Fund, they will be employed by the Football Foundation, and therefore it’s important that they understand the wider context – in terms of what we do and how we go about it.
The Football Foundation transforms lives and communities by creating great places to play. As an independent charity, we work in partnership with the Premier League, The FA, and Sport England to invest in community sports facilities. With an additional £205 million government investment in grassroots football over the next three years, we are well-positioned to continue improving pitches and facilities nationwide.
The role
The PLSF Technical Executive will support Stadium Accreditation for clubs in National League System Steps 5-6 and Women’s Football Pyramid Tiers 3-4, ensuring grounds meet FA standards on time. The role includes reviewing grant applications, managing risks, and aiding stadium development. This entry-level role provides hands-on experience in stadium design, development, and compliance. You'll support the PLSF grant process and Stadium Accreditation Programme, working with clubs to ensure grounds meet FA standards. Responsibilities include reviewing grant applications, managing risks, and supporting stadium development.
We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals eager to develop professionally. A qualification in a construction field (Level 4 HNC or HND minimum) is required. You don’t need a passion for football or in-depth knowledge of the football pyramid—your technical or construction background is what matters most. Successful applicants will gain hands-on experience in grant management and technical processes while working with an experienced team. Over time, you'll manage your own portfolio of clubs, guiding them to meet Stadium Accreditation requirements on schedule.
What are we looking for?
You’ll need an HNC/HND (Level 4/5) in a construction-related field and some experience on building sites, with knowledge of construction processes and quality standards. Understanding the FA’s league structures is desirable but not essential. We support team development and progression. To be eligible for promotion to a Technical Manager role, a degree in a construction-related field is required. With the right degree, we aim to prepare you for promotion within two to three years.You’ll need strong people skills to engage and motivate others while managing projects from start to finish. Excellent organisation is essential, balancing multiple tasks, prioritising, and meeting deadlines without compromising quality.

What can we offer you?
The salary band for this role is £26,000 - £30,000 per annum. This will be reviewed periodically, providing opportunities for your salary to grow as you develop and gain experience in the role. You’ll start with 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (increasing after 2 years), and additional time off for volunteering. Benefits include an 8% employer pension contribution, free healthcare, gym subsidy, death in service benefit, and access to match tickets.
