If you would like the opportunity to help shape the future of your club on behalf of its global fanbase, then apply now for a newly available role with the Liverpool FC Supporters' Committee.

The committee is currently seeking a passionate and knowledgeable fan to represent the Reds' disabled followers - a position that has been successfully held by Jeanette Dodd since 2011.

A dedicated individual is required to listen to, support and represent the club's disabled fanbase through the ongoing work of the Supporters' Committee, which was established three years ago.

The committee, consisting of 12 voluntary fan representatives and an honorary president, helps the club to better understand the vital issues for supporters and consider their views and opinions.

Members meet with senior club officials in Liverpool at least four times per season to discuss the matters and raise the questions that are most pertinent to the section of fans they represent.

If you believe you have the knowledge and skills to represent this category, then we want to hear from you. Scroll down for application instructions now, with the closing date fast approaching.
