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.

If you are living outside of a reasonable travelling distance from Skegness, we may be able to provide accommodation on site.  This will incur a small weekly charge of £40 to cover costs.

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.

Start: As soon as possible 

Who we are: 

Grassroots Suicide Prevention (GSP) is a national charity committed to the timely intervention and prevention of suicide. We work to empower people to help save lives through connecting, educating, and campaigning nationally. Our vision is a future where more lives are saved from suicide. 

About the role:  
We are seeking a highly organised and driven Project and Operations Manager to help streamline processes, deliver key initiatives, and support our continued growth in our Training team.
