Who are we looking for:
We are seeking passionate and experienced individuals with a strong background in planning and delivering educational sessions, particularly for young people and vulnerable adults. The ideal candidate will have a proven ability to build meaningful relationships with key stakeholders and demonstrate a solid understanding of employability pathways. Experience working within the sports sector and signposting young people to further opportunities is essential.

The successful candidate will also possess strong organisational abilities and the capacity to evaluate programme successes and areas for development.

An understanding of inclusive youth work practices and mentoring within a youth work context is also beneficial. Additionally, a good knowledge of the local employability industry will support the successful delivery of our programmes.
Why should you apply?
This is a full-time FTC role working 35 hours per week. Your main base will be Anfield Sports and Community Centre but you will be required to travel in and around Merseyside.
To reward your hard work and commitment we offer a competitive salary, 25 days holiday (plus 8 bank holidays and the option to purchase up to an additional 5 days) and a contributory pension scheme.
You will have access to our benefits kit bag where you can get high street discounts, and a selection of benefit schemes you can join. There are opportunities to get involved with volunteering through our LFC Foundation to give back to the local community.
At Liverpool Football Club, we have an unwavering commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and are always looking to making a positive difference in the communities that we operate within. We are proud of our achievements in this area; maintaining the Premier League Equality Standard Advanced Level, becoming a founding signatory of the Football Association’s Football Leadership Diversity Code and being recognised as a leader in this important area on and off the pitch.
