SUPPORTERS' LIAISON OFFICER
Altrincham FC announces...
"As part of the 5 year Strategic Plan, presented to the fans in February, the board promised look at additional measures that can be taken to improve and strengthen the club’s communication with its fans. With this in mind the football club are pleased to announce that they are now looking to recruit a volunteer Supporters’ Liaison Officer (SLO) to act a bridge between the football club supporters and the board.
The role, which is backed by a UEFA initiative, is designed to ensure that fans have a dedicated point of contact and it is hoped that this will be someone who will represent the needs of fans within the club, and ensure that the most common issues are raised at the highest level within Altrincham FC.
Director Bill Waterson says 'The board believe that a SLO can help establish real, constructive dialogue between the supporters and the football club, and give fans a further vehicle by which they can put their thoughts and views forward on any subject they wish.'
The role of an SLO is not just about what happens at the games, or at the J Davidson Stadium, and therefore it would also incorporate non-match day responsibilities on supporter issues. A full job description (MS Word document) can be found here, but a summary of duties includes:
Provide supporters with a link into the club, allowing fans to put their thoughts and views forward on any subject
Gather feedback (formally and informally) from supporters, identify key issues and opportunities and communicate these to the club
Communicate key information to supporters and other stakeholders (through a variety of media, but including face-to-face meetings if required)
Applications are open from all fans and the successful applicant will be considered independent in the role, but with full and proper support from the club.
To register your interest in the role, please contact Brian Flynn. Applications will be considered until Saturday July 22nd, with an announcement following soon after".
