Activity Manager - Easter and Summer 2026
Activity Manager
Job overview
As Activity Manager, you are responsible for the overall delivery, quality, and safety of the activity and excursion programme. You’ll oversee all operational logistics — from coach bookings and venue entrances to staff coordination and risk management — ensuring a seamless, engaging experience for our students.
You’ll lead by example, motivating your team of Activity Leaders and the Onsite Activity Coordinator to deliver sessions confidently, proactively, and in line with our CHEERS values.
Key Responsibilities
Onsite Activities
Our onsite programmes are a diverse mix of sports, arts and crafts and creative activities; this involves collaborating with external providers such as bushcraft, funfairs and DJs. Your Onsite Activity Co-Ordinator is there to help you with the planning and delivery, however final decisions are always yours.
Excursions
2 or 3 times a week every student will go on an excursion. These require a huge amount of planning and attention to detail. You liaise with the coach company, manage bookings, ensure the team is briefed and prepared, and that our clients are satisfied at all times.
Group Leaders
The Group Leaders are our clients, and well-executed excursions are key to ensuring their satisfaction.
You’ll build positive, professional relationships with them — holding regular meetings to discuss upcoming trips, listening actively to their feedback, and taking action where needed to deliver the best possible experience for their students.
Centre Support
You may occasionally need to step in and assist other areas, especially during busy arrival and departure days, ensuring everything runs seamlessly for students and staff alike.
