Job description: Who are we: Since 1988, Everton in the Community has become a dynamic force for good, harnessing the unifying power of football to drive social change and addressing societal challenges across Liverpool City Region.

These programmes cover areas such as health, employability, anti-social behaviour, crime, exploitation, education, dementia, and disability.
