Social Media Manager (Volunteer)

About Baguley Athletic Football Club

Baguley Athletic FC is an ambitious, fast-growing grassroots football club rooted in the heart of Wythenshawe. From expanding our senior and youth setup to launching our Women’s team and Little Kix Soccer School, we are building a club that truly belongs to its community.
