Description
Help tackle child food insecurity by working directly with schools, building relationships, capturing impact, and supporting community fundraising that drives real change.
This is an opportunity to join a growing charity at a pivotal moment and play a key role in expanding a national programme supporting children and families across the UK. This is one of the charity’s first two hires and is a hands-on role in a small team.
MCKS Charitable Foundation works with schools to provide pantry and breakfast support to families experiencing food insecurity. We currently support over 180 schools and are now scaling our work towards 500+ schools nationally.
We’re looking for a Schools, Community & Impact Manager to help us strengthen our relationships with schools, understand how our support is being used, and capture the stories and data that allow us to grow our impact.
This is a varied, outward-facing role where you’ll work directly with schools, build trusted relationships, and ensure we are delivering support in the most effective way possible.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll sit at the centre of the programme, working across schools, impact and community engagement.
You will:

Put simply:
without strong school relationships and clear impact, we can’t grow.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone who is:
- A natural relationship builder, confident working with schools and communities
- Curious and analytical, with the ability to understand patterns and identify insights
- A strong communicator, particularly when writing case studies and reports
- Organised and able to manage multiple relationships at once
- Proactive and comfortable working independently in a small team
You may have experience in schools, charities, community work, or partnership-based roles—but just as important is your ability to build trust and understand people.
Why join us
- Be part of a growing charity making a real difference to children and families
- Play a key role in shaping a programme that is scaling nationally
- Work flexibly within a small, supportive team
- Opportunity to influence how impact is measured and communicated
Safeguarding

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.
