About Everton Football Club

Founded nearly 150 years ago as St Domingo's FC, the club became Everton Football Club a short while later, and in 1888 the Merseyside team were one of 12 founders of the Football League.

Everton Football Club are one of English football's most successful teams. Nine times league champions and FA Cup winners on five occasions, the club have spent more time in the top-flight than any other side.

Today, the club has over 450 staff members based across five sites in Merseyside: Goodison Park their historic stadium; The Hub - where their award winning community charity is based; Everton Free School; Finch Farm - their training base and academy ground; and finally, their new head office The Royal Liver Building at the heart of Liverpool's historic waterfront.

Known as the People's Club - the club's ethos of being a community club is still very much at the heart of who they are. Their charity, 'Everton in the Community', engages and inspires individuals across Merseyside to participate in sport as well as creating a new generation of Evertonians.

Staff members are incredibly proud to work for Everton and they look to encourage and grow this passion every day. Staff not only work for the club but they dedicate their personal time to fundraise for Everton in the community, while volunteering to help out on match days.

The club works with staff to develop them professionally and support them when times get tough. They are their '12th man' and integral to the continued success at Everton.
