Social Media Executive - Sheffield, South Yorkshire

Social Media Executive - Sheffield, South Yorkshire 

Yard Ball Sheffield is seeking talented and passionate Team Members to help to grow our team. Spread across over 30,000 sq ft, Yard Ball Sheffield is a nostalgic football & social experience.

Our unique concept will transport visitors minds back to a time when football was fun and Social Clubs were a staple along side a chippy tea on a Friday. Fusing Social Club aesthetics, great food, 90’s culture and street football classics like Kerby and crossbar challenge, all while reminiscing about baggy kits, teletext scores, bad haircuts (usually by your mum), games on the garages or under the pub car park lights when it gets dark. 

Pure nostalgia. Zero VAR.

Our mission is to provide a fun, immersive experience for all, which includes providing the highest standard of personable service. This is a country-first venue, with ambitious plans for growth throughout the UK, so now is a great time to be part of this exciting business.
