This is one of the most important leadership roles at Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre as we reopen in 2026. Based at our seaside centre in Skegness, you’ll lead life-changing residential experiences for children who need them most.

For over 135 years, Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre has given children the chance to experience the seaside — often for the very first time. For many, it’s far more than a holiday. It’s a moment of safety, joy, confidence and belonging that stays with them for life.

You’ll also play a key role in building relationships with schools and partners, helping us grow our reach and impact.

• Experienced in managing teams, operations or residential settings

• Strong in safeguarding, organisation and decision-making

If you’re ready to lead with energy, care and purpose — and help children experience the joy of the seaside — we would love to hear from you.
