Vacancies at EFL Trust and the network

The EFL Trust is the charitable arm of the English Football League (EFL), and was established in 2008 to oversee the remarkable and diverse work of their Football Club Community Organisations (CCOs). Over ten years later, providing ‘a football experience for everyone’ is key to EFL’s work and this is reflected in the work of our CCOs. Our core purpose remains to support the CCOs to help us achieve our vision. This is best achieved when the power of both the Football Club and the Club Community Organisation are brought together.
