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.

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

• 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

We work with them to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime, helping them to face the challenges in their lives. Dedicated support, guidance and mentoring from our staff and volunteers ensures young people receive the maximum benefit from our long-term intervention. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable young people. All our services are provided completely free of charge to the young people who are nominated by schools and other youth organisations to take part.

We’re proud to offer our programmes completely free of charge to participants which means the fundraising team is crucial.

St Mary Redcliffe is a thriving, inclusive Christian community that has grown significantly over the past twelve years. It is a traditional, robed, choral church that is also theologically progressive, committed to welcoming and valuing people of all ages, backgrounds, identities, abilities, and circumstances. The church reflects a diverse and vibrant congregation united by a shared commitment to faith, inclusion, and the belief that all are equally loved and welcomed by God.

Alongside its worshipping life, St Mary Redcliffe is a well-established heritage destination and an active force for good in one of the most deprived parishes in the country. Thousands of visitors already come each year, with ambitious plans through Project 450 to expand access, facilities, education, and interpretation, enabling many more to engage with the church’s history, heritage, and Christian story.
