Liverpool, England, UK
Everton Football Club is one of world sport’s most respected and revered names – a by-word for innovation, professionalism and community.
During the course of a glittering history spanning three centuries, the Club has been shaped and guided by its aspirational motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum – nothing but the best is good enough.
One of only three clubs to have been a founder member of both the Football League and Premier League, Everton has played more games in English football’s topflight than any other club.
While rightly proud of our rich past, and Goodison Park, our home of more than 130 years, we are now setting our sights on an exciting future at a state-of-the-art new stadium opening in summer 2025, under our new ownership, The Freidkin Group.
In doing so, we remain committed to developing and supporting teams across our Men’s, Women’s and Academy set-ups that inspire and continue to compete at the highest level of the game.
For decades, our Club’s Academy has been one of the most respected and renowned in football. Our vision, to have a clear pathway by identifying, recruiting, developing and retaining young players who can play for Everton or have a career in the professional game remains as focused as ever.
We are now looking for an ambitious, motivated, and strategical thinking Head of Academy Recruitment to come and oversee our Recruitment department (across both Professional & Local strategies), based at our training ground at Finch Farm.
As Head of Academy Recruitment, you will oversee the scouting and recruitment of the entire Academy function, across all phases, being responsible for the talent identification and recruitment into the Academy. As part of this, the post holder would be expected to proactively co-ordinate a scouting network aimed at recruiting from local, regional, and national areas, as well as exploring opportunities internationally.
If you feel you have the expertise we are looking for and would thrive off becoming an integral part of our Academy leadership team, who will be part of taking us onto our exciting future at our new Everton Stadium, then we would love to hear from you!
The role is permanent and will be based at Finch Farm training ground in Liverpool (Halewood), however there is expected frequent travel involved within the post, working 40 hours per week plus matchdays.
The closing date of this advert is Tuesday 22nd April 2025.
