Always forward

We have a very defined purpose: to act for a winning team, culture and community. We achieve this by ensuring we are courageous in the pursuit of progress, we champion our community and each other, and that we do the right thing (even when no one is looking). 

About Arsenal

Arsenal Football Club was established in 1886 by a group of munitions workers looking to build a community away from their challenging work in the Woolwich Armaments factory.

From those humble beginnings, we now reach millions of supporters around the world.

We have pioneered the game at all levels through the ages, from our ground-breaking teams of the 1930s and 2000s, to establishing what has become the most successful women’s team in history in 1987 and providing community programmes to thousands of people in our local boroughs and beyond.

ARSENAL FOR EVERYONE

Arsenal for Everyone is our commitment to promoting and embracing equality, diversity and inclusion, so that everyone connected to the club feels like they belong to the same Arsenal family. We believe that diversity of background, skills and experience drives our success on and off the pitch. 

Premier League Equality Standard

We were the first Premier League Club to be awarded the Advanced Equality Standard by the Premier League in 2011. We were also a founding signatory of the Football Leadership Diversity Code in 2020.

Disability Confident Leader

We are a Disability Confident Leader. We actively welcome and encourage applications from people with disabilities and long-term health conditions. If you need disability-related adjustments to the recruitment process, please indicate this in your application.

If you are likely to meet the definition of being a ‘disabled person’ according to the Equality Act 2010, you may be eligible to apply for an interview via the Disability Confident Scheme - please indicate this in your application. The information you share with us about your health or disability will not be used in recruitment decisions.

Our Commitment to Safeguarding

At Arsenal we are committed to creating a safe environment in which the wellbeing of children, young people and adults at risk are of paramount importance to the club. Safeguarding is essential to achieving this, and we expect all staff and partners of the club to share this commitment. Therefore, for appropriate roles, we require successful candidates to undergo safer recruitment checks, which will include Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) as well as background checks.
