Activity Manager - Alfreton, Derbyshire

Please note that this vacancy is only open to current employees of YHA England and Wales

 

 

YHA Ravenstor and Ilam Hall are looking to recruit a Dual Site Activity Manager for 25 - 42.5 hours per week.

The management role will be split between the two home sites YHA Ravenstor and YHA Ilam Hall. The role is a crucial part of delivering our YHA Activities Program between the two sites, developing and leading our team of Activity Team Members to deliver our LOTC accredited educational experiences to 1000's of young people annually.

What can YHA offer you?

YHA Ravenstor and Ilam are somewhere a little different, certainly not your average office. YHA offers a fantastic benefits package including;

  • We pay £12.44 per hour on a permanent contract
  • You will get access to YHA’s staff discount and cash back portal
  • Free YHA Membership each year
  • 10 nights free hostel stays per year for you and up to 3 friends or family

There’s lots more benefits to working for YHA so please visit our YHA Jobs website to find out more.

What will you be doing as a Activity Manager?

The Activity Manager duties will include:

  • Liaising with groups and leaders to organise groups residentials and activity programs
  • Completing pre visits
  • Working with young people
  • Overseeing the delivery of activities within the hostel
  • Managing the activity staff and team
  • Managing groups onsite
  • Risk assessing
  • Assisting with other areas of the hostel, when necessary, flexible, confident

In addition, you may:

  • Support other Regional Teams across the network
  • Support Central Education Team
  • Travel to other hostels outside of your home sites to support with activity delivery

What Skills and Experience do you need to be a Activity Manager?

We value lived experience just as much as previous skills and knowledge. We offer a robust induction, ongoing training, and further development, however, some of our roles will have further skills requirements. Our Activity manager role requires flexibility to cover different shifts and tasks. It’s an advantage but not essential that our duty managers have worked in a face-to-face role with customers previously. Experience in hospitality or customer service would be advantageous, including the management and delivery of a quality service.

Food safety level 2 and APLH level 2 qualifications would be desirable but not essential. Experience working knowledge of managing varying pressures, including significant peaks in workload demands and experience of managing a team is essential.

Duties vary so good communication skills, excellent timekeeping and basic IT skills are advantages.

Knowledge and understanding of YHA’s core purpose and experience of working in a team are beneficial.

How do you apply?

Submit your CV and complete the application form (it’s a short one, we promise). If you need any assistance, please visit the contact page on the YHA Jobs website and someone from the team will help you.

Who are YHA?

If you would like to find out more about YHA the charity, the culture, the heritage and so much more please visit our jobs website.

YHA’s core strategic priority is access for all. It is a fundamental part of our charitable objects and the foundation upon which our 90-year history is built. We’re actively building diverse teams and we welcome applications from everyone.

You can find out more about us by visiting the ‘Working for YHA’ pages of the YHA Jobs website.

PLEASE NOTE All relevant checks are in place to ensure safeguarding and legal requirements of safer recruitment are adhered to.

We do reserve the right to close this advertisement early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.
