Best Companies | Everton Football Club Company Profile

Known as the "people's club", Everton is driven by four values that were developed with staff: Family, Authenticity, Determination and Ambition.

Underpinning these is its motto: Nil satis nisi optimum (nothing but the best is good enough). These values inform the employee experience, from recruitment to personal development and helping staff plan for their future.

Amanda Chatterton, the community business development manager, says of her working life at the club: "It has been amazing from day one. Family is the most important thing to Everton. People are friendly and supportive, and I have built some great relationships."

Everton Football Club and Everton in the Community has more than 500 permanent staff, supported by just under 1,000 casual match-day workers based across five sites in Merseyside. These include the club's headquarters at the Royal Liver Building, Goodison Park, Everton's historic stadium, Everton Free School and Football College and The Blue Base, where the club's charity runs programmes for elderly and disabled people.

The club is a principal partner of the Living Wage Foundation and plays an active role on the Living Wage Advisory Council. It is also championing the development of a Real Living Pension.

The club's women's network is expanding and supports Everton's commitment to working with the community. It will take part in sessions to support the career development of women in all aspects of business life, particularly sport. It also continues to invest in the women's game.
