A Club for Everyone
At Chelsea FC, we want to attract and recruit the best people from a wide range of backgrounds and bring together different experiences. We know this helps us innovate and succeed both on and off the pitch.
Our aim is to continuously develop and promote a diverse and inclusive environment for all our people across a broad portfolio of departments and specialist job roles. We are proud to have been awarded the Advanced Level of the Premier League Equality Standard in 2020, and to be a Disability Confident employer. By signing up to the Football Leadership Diversity Code we have demonstrated our ongoing commitment towards embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion at all levels of employment across the club.
We want everyone to feel welcome at Chelsea, no matter who they are or where they come from. We want everyone who works here to share our values and aspirations, and to be “Proud to be Chelsea'.
Our Values
We have more than 150 unique roles that help us reach our goals. Whether it’s by supporting the teams on the pitch in our coaching, medical, sport science, analytics, player recruitment or grounds teams or off the pitch, in departments such as venue and stadium operations, sponsorship, marketing, legal, finance and HR.
No matter what our teams do, they are brave and decisive and always look for new ways to stand out from the crowd. Our Values are important to us.

Chelsea FC is proud to be a diverse employer where our differences are valued and everyone is made to feel part of our team, whatever their background or identity.
