Liverpool FC are set to hire up to 2, 000 matc day employees to work in the expanded Main Stand. An extra 8, 500 seats are being added to Anfield’s Main Stand as part of a £260m expansion project. This means the club will need an extra 1, 000 matchday staff to work in its kitchen, retail, catering, safety, hospitality, tours and museum teams. It will mark the biggest recruitment drive in the club’s history. Lise Jenkins, the club’s human resources director, said: “We are absolutely delighted that the expansion of the Main Stand will give a huge number of people an opportunity to be part of our football family. “This recruitment drive supports our commitment to creating opportunities for local people and giving fans in the stadium the best possible experience. “Anfield is well known for the warm welcome it gives visitors from all over the world and our matchday team is an extremely important part of that.” The club is also launching a ‘ready to work’ course to improve the options for unemployed Liverpool residents. The course will offer access catering and hospitality opportunities at Anfield. Cllr Ann O’Byrne, deputy mayor of Liverpool, said: “This is a really important moment on the Anfield regeneration journey, which has never only been about place but also, most critically, about people and prosperity. “All the partners – Liverpool city council, Liverpool Football Club and Your Housing Group – have recognised that improving economic conditions, job prospects and life chances are key for the project to succeed in the long term.
