Join Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre in Skegness as a Summer Activity Leader and spend seven weeks creating life-changing experiences for children who really need a break.
For 135 years, Derbyshire Children’s Holiday Centre has provided seaside holidays for children from Derbyshire who are living in poverty, experiencing trauma, or facing multiple disadvantages. A week away from everyday pressures can help a child relax, grow in confidence, and believe in themselves again.
As part of our summer team, you’ll help deliver fun, structured activities that give children the chance to enjoy childhood — often for the first time in a long while.
You might be leading beach games, running sports activities, supporting creative workshops, helping children take part in confidence-building wellbeing sessions, or joining them on trips out around the seaside.
But more importantly, you’ll be part of a supportive team helping every child feel safe, included and valued.
Many of the children who visit us arrive feeling nervous or unsure. By the end of the week they often leave smiling, more confident, and with new friendships that stay with them long after the holiday ends.
This is more than just a summer job — it’s a chance to be part of something genuinely meaningful.
