Make yourself at home.
Life/Work Balance
Looking to balance your outdoor lifestyle with the buzz of a thriving city? Make yourself at home here, amongst our famously friendly hills.
You’ll love Sheffield’s character: our people and their spirit. Their restless sense of adventure and refreshing pace of living.
We have competitive job opportunities, but there’s much more than a career in Sheffield. It’s a place to spend weekends and evenings, exploring, absorbing, relishing life.
There’s plenty of festivals to capture your imagination, and the Peak District is yours to enjoy. As are the theatres, the pubs, the restaurants, the clubs (football, and/or otherwise).
Sheffield makes working and living an easier balance to find.
There's now a different outlook on how we live.
And we think Sheffield is the place where it all balances out just about right.
Culture
Iconic music, a wealth of festivals, world-class theatre and an outstanding food and drink scene.
We’re the home of football, innovators in gaming, and first and foremost a city of makers. Come and find out more about what makes us tick.
LGBTQ+
We're an inclusive city that celebrates diversity and uniqueness - so it's no surprise to find a thriving alternative scene welcoming people from all walks of life.
Civil society
Working together to make things that bit better is a big part of the Sheffield ethos. You'll always find people who are trying to create change, build better communities, take the first step towards a more eco-conscious ethical future. From transformed neighbourhoods and refugee sanctuary to grassroots fundraising and Universal Basic Income - here you'll find a wealth of projects taking off.
Student life
We're proud to count our student population as residents - part of the community. There's a reason people come to study here - and there's a reason they stay after they graduate. If you're thinking of choosing Sheffield for your uni experience, you'd be hard pushed to find the same blend of vibrant city culture, outdoors living and straight up friendly welcome anywhere else.
