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.
As Holiday Centre Manager, you will lead the day-to-day operation of our Skegness centre, ensuring every child experiences a safe, welcoming and inspiring environment. You’ll oversee residential programme delivery, manage staff and volunteers, and take responsibility for safeguarding, health & safety and site operations.
This is a hands-on leadership role where no two days are the same. You’ll design and oversee engaging activity programmes, support and develop your team, and ensure the highest standards of care and compliance. You’ll also play a key role in building relationships with schools and partners, helping us grow our reach and impact.
This is a full-time, permanent role offered on an annualised hours contract, reflecting the seasonal nature of our work — with busier periods during holiday delivery and quieter times for planning, development and preparing the centre.
We’re looking for someone who is:
-
A confident, practical leader who enjoys being hands-on
-
Passionate about children’s wellbeing and development
-
Experienced in managing teams, operations or residential settings
-
Strong in safeguarding, organisation and decision-making
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.
Calls to discuss the role in more detail or to answer any questions that you may have about the role are encouraged.
