Vacancies
Hatfield Town Football Club are always interested to hear from talented individuals who are willing to volunteer their services, regardless of their area of expertise. Specifically we are looking for the following, but if you have any skills that you would be willing to volunteer outside of these roles, we would be very interested to hear from you also:
Treasurer:Working alongside the Chairman; Vice Chairman and Secretary, the Treasurer will maintain accurate book-keeping records and produce cash flow reports ahead of all committee meetings. End of Financial Year book balancing will also be required. A financial background would be an advantage but training can be provided to a suitable candidate who does not possess this. |
Secretary to the Committee:Working for the committee, this position will require the post-holder to produce agendas ahead of committee meetings, take accurate minutes at each committee meeting, and enter into correspondence on behalf of the club at the behest of senior committee members. Shorthand skills would be a distinct advantage but are not essential. |
Grounds & Stadia Officer:Working for the committee, this position will require the post-holder to enter into discussions with local councils and organisations in an effort to acquire a suitable ground for the club. This will involve meetings with people of all levels and a certain amount of reporting back to the club on any progress that has been made. |
Programme Editor:Working for the committee and taking instruction from the same, this position will require the post-holder to produce a match-day programme for all first team home matches. Close contact with the webmaster and the printers will also be required. This post would suit somebody who has an eye for detail, can maintain basic statistics and has a flair for desk-top publishing. Most importantly though is the need to be computer literate and have access to email and the internet. |
Fixtures Secretary:This is a major position within the club and requires a person with an eye to detail. Duties will include ensuring that all parties concerned are contacted and advised of all fixtures; that Team Managers are made aware of where matches are to be played, at what time, and any special arrangements that need to be made as a result of colour clashes with the opposition; that the league and other governing bodies are made aware of match results in accordance with competition rulings; that any fines imposed are paid in a timely manner (in conjunction with the Treasurer); that Team Managers are made aware of player suspensions and pending suspensions; and all other duties required to ensure the smooth running of the football administration, and that all personnel are given the information that they require in order to undertake their roles in a timely manner. There is also some match-day administration involved, so applicants would need to be available every Saturday and some mid-week evenings throughout the course of the season. |
Marketing Officer:Working alongside the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer, and coordinating the Commercial Assistants, the Marketing Officer will maximize the financial incomings to the Club, to the extent that the Club thrives and prospers. Working with the Committee generally, the Marketing Officer will devise events that generate money for the Club and will instigate and oversee these events with the assistance of other personnel from the Club. |
Press Officer & Match Reporter (2 posts):The Press Officer will work with the First Team, whilst the Match Reporter will work for the Reserves. These positions entail accurately reporting to the local media (Newspapers and Radio); to the League's Press Officer; and to various internet sites, any newsworthy article concerning the club, both on and off of the pitch. It would be of great use if the Match Reporter was also the owner of a reasonable camera so that pictorial evidence of match events can also be relayed back to the local media and also posted to various internet sites. |
Kit & Equipment Manager (2 posts):Required for the First and Reserve Teams. These positions will involve the inspection of all kit to ensure that it is in a usable condition ahead of every match, that sufficient kit is available for every match, the organization of repair or replacement of damaged kit in time for the next scheduled match, the reporting of any missing kit and ensuring that team kit, corner flags and goal nets are set out on match days. |
All of the above positions hold committee member status. Anybody successfully recruited into any of these roles will therefore be able to have their say on how the club is run and developed.
