Volunteer vacancies at AFC Emley
25th May, 2016
AFC Emley are looking to fill three voluntary roles at the Toolstation NCEL Division One side ahead of the 2016/17 season.
The club is the football section of the Emley Moor Miners Recreation Ground and Institute, a charity based in West Yorkshire.
They provide opportunities for local footballers to play and develop. They have an active volunteer-base that supports the club on and off the field. All their activities are managed and run by volunteers.
Community officer
AFC Emley is looking for a community officer who can help them connect with the village of Emley and surrounding areas.
This person will know the value partnerships can bring and can spot opportunities to work with a wide variety of groups.
The community officer will help raise the profile of the club and look to get the community into their facility. You'll be hands on too - ideas are great but the club are looking for someone to get involved with delivering those ideas.
They will also help bring local junior sides into the club for VIP match day experiences across the season.
You don't have to be an out-and-out football fan, although it may help - more important is a willingness to make this opportunity your own and drive engagement around the HD8 area.
Commercial officer
When it comes to recognition and reach, AFC Emley already punch well above their weight - a fact recognised by excellent businesses who are already part of their family of sponsors - such as Integra, Fantastic Media, Kalcrest, WM Sykes and more.
Now they need someone to help take them on to the next level. The club have several commercial and sponsorship avenues to pursue but they're looking for someone to build relationships with potential partners, sponsors and advertisers.
Over time, you'll become the face of the club to local business. The right person will be passionate about the club and be able to sell the benefits to businesses - big and small - throughout the area. The right person will fit the right opportunity to the right business and follow through on the deal to deliver on the promises made.
You'll also be happy to organise events to welcome existing, new and potential sponsors/advertisers to the club.
Stadium announcer
The club is keen to improve the match day experience for supporters and visiting fans, so they're looking for a stadium announcer for first team home games.
You'll work with the match day secretary and club press officer to deliver match information before, during and after the game. You'll also be relaying key messages to supporters whether about sponsors and special offers to latest scores and forthcoming fixtures.
Expenses and contact information
AFC Emley are not able to pay any travelling expenses and note Emley is a rural village with limited public transport so please keep this in mind if interested. As with all their volunteers, you'll be made very welcome at the club and will enjoy the chance to watch matches for free.
