A confident, practical leader who enjoys being hands-on
-
Passionate about children’s wellbeing and development
-
Experienced in managing teams, operations or residential settings

In return, you’ll have the opportunity to:
-
Make a genuine, measurable difference to children’s lives
-
Lead a small committed team of staff and volunteers
-
Shape and grow a unique and historic charity
-
Take pride in a role with real purpose and impact
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.
