Working at the EFL

The EFL wants to recruit the very best people who have had wide and varied life experiences. You do not need to have experience in football to work in football.

Our employees have already thought about the type of workplace they want to work in and this is reflected through our principles:

  •  Everybody working together
  •  Fairness and equality 
  •  Listening and learning

These words have been developed by our employees for our employees, but they are fully and actively supported by our senior team.

We are taking steps and strides together to build a fun, exciting and productive workplace that supports our Clubs to deliver the very best games and competitions.

Working at the EFL comes with a great package of benefits that everybody has an opportunity to take advantage of.

  • Competitive salaries reviewed annually to keep pace with the cost of living
  • In addition to your salary, 10% of your basic pay paid into a pension by the EFL. You can add your contribution too in a tax efficient way
  • Membership in an "everyday health plan" which gives you access to discounts on non-essential medical costs 
  • Membership in a "private medical health insurance" which can give you private healthcare when you need it most
  • Discounts on gym membership and retail purchases
  • Use of a 24-hour confidential employee helpline
  • Life assurance - premiums paid by the EFL
  • Income protection insurance - premiums paid by the EFL

You also get the most wonderful opportunities to:

  • Work at Wembley during the finals of our cup competitions and the end of season Play-Offs
  • Attend matches as a guest (sometimes with a guest)
  • Purchase tickets for matches 
  • Work in an office where football is the focus with memorabilia of past iconic moments all around you

Within your role, we will:

  • Set up a great induction for you - with regular checks-ins
  • Give you access to interesting and helpful online training where you can manage your own learning time 
  • Get you involved in our monthly "Listening & Learning" sessions where you can meet colleagues and learn more about how the organisation works 
  • Invite you to our monthly "Team Mates" forums where you can discuss topics of the day in a relaxed and informal way with your colleagues
  • Give you the opportunity to train as a first aider, fire warden or mental health first aider
  • Give you the opportunity to attend seminars to support your CPD 
  • (If appropriate) give you the opportunity to develop your management skills

Also - we do like to socialise and have fun so we arrange two "socials" a year.

Finally - we will also help you to help others through our volunteering programme 

Working at the EFL is not just work, it can be a lifestyle.
