Staff Testimonials

Our staff represent a diverse range of people working across a wide array of different types of role. Here, we discover more about the varying positions which are part of Everton Football Club and Everton in the Community - and the people who work in them...
Joe Rowe – Senior Project Manager, Everton in the Community
Each day is different at Everton and that mix is what makes working for Everton fantastic. My job can vary so much from day to day which means I have had some amazing experiences that have shaped the way I work today. I started as a volunteer at Everton and have worked my way up to manage my own area.

Tom Kearney – Assistant Head of Academy Coaching, Everton Academy 
I joined Everton as a player at eight years old and progressed through the Academy until I was 19. After fulfilling my playing career at lower league clubs, I returned to the Club in a part-time coaching position and have now progressed to a full-time coaching role at the age of 35.  Everton is my home, something I’m so proud to be part of.

Sarah Atherton - Place Programme Manager, Everton in the Community
No two days at Everton are the same. My job is extremely rewarding and one that I feel extremely fortunate to have. Changing and saving lives within the Community and beyond is something that our organisation does 365 days of the year. My role provides me with endless opportunities that have shaped my role and career today.  I feel really lucky to be a part of the Everton Family.

Lara King - Director of Children & Youth Services, Everton in the Community
You would never believe a role like mine existed at Everton but it does, and there are lots of opportunities within the family for people to explore.
Make sure you read into the Everton family and see all the different avenues that we work with, follow us on social media. The volunteering opportunities are amazing and a lot of workforce has come from volunteering.
You don’t have to play football or be sporty, there are a wider variety of areas you can get involved in the opportunities are endless.

Tanya Devine - Stadium Operations Support Manager, Operations
I would definitely say the opportunities I have been given at my time at Everton have helped me to develop and grow my confidence.
Feeling that my hard work is recognised and rewarded is brilliant, and has given me the confidence that made me believe you can achieve anything that you put your mind to.

Sue Gregory - Chief Executive Officer, Everton in the Community
Every day is different! I have developed so much in understanding the business side of the Club as we have full support from other departments. When I speak and present to other clubs or businesses, I realise how great we are by their reactions to what we do as a “whole family approach”.
