It has good rail and road links, with a typical train journey to London St Pancras taking 2 hours. Manchester Airport is also just over an hour away with an ever expanding repertoire of routes to national and international destinations.
The city of Sheffield contains an abundance of entertainment and cultural activities including award-winning theatres, (the Crucible and Lyceum are world-class theatres and major regional attractions), museums and galleries, a variety of clubs and live music venues, and a range of spectator and participation sports. With a thriving cultural industries quarter and a range of city-wide events throughout the year, there is something on offer to suit everyone’s taste and interests.

We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination.
