Off the field, we are a small but hard-working team, meaning the willingness to adapt to challenges which arise in a fast-moving football environment is important. An essential part of this role is to cover home and away matches, which will at times include working evenings, weekends and unsociable hours.
We are always looking for ways to improve how we work at Bradford City AFC. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to positively affect the employee working environment and the wider aspects of the club.
