Reason for applying

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time working for Liverpool Football Club previously. It  was with a heavy heart that I had to relinquish my role to focus on raising my 4 children who were all aged 6 and under at the time. Now that they have grown up and become much more independent I would relish the opportunity to work for the club again.
