Main Duties
The Centre Manager will report to the Director of Junior Courses. The Centre Manager has overall responsibility for
the summer centre and, using the IT systems available, will oversee and plan staffing, student arrivals and
departures, student welfare, and the daytime and evening activities programme for the course operation dates. This
will involve careful liaison with staff to ensure they are properly informed of the itinerary as well as establishing
and maintaining good relationships with host institutes and external service providers. The Centre Manager is also
responsible for producing a weekly staff roster and managing the finances, e.g. expenditure, petty cash, pocket
money, of the summer centre. Most importantly, the Centre Manager must be able to inspire both staff and students
leading by example with a clear and effective management style.

Working Hours
The Centre Manager works 6 days out of 7 each week.

Skills And Qualifications
Applicants must have excellent management skills, be able to work within budgets and lead a team of staff. The
ability to work under pressure and multi-task is also essential. Applicants must be computer literate as managers
have full control of the centre by using IT systems. Previous experience of working with young adults or children is
advantageous as is a knowledge of discipline and grievance procedures for both staff and students. We welcome
students from all over the world so candidates must have the desire to work with young people from different cultural
backgrounds. Previous work in a customer service background is beneficial as managers have to deal with a wide range
of issues from staff, students and host institutions. We also welcome applicants who have had other lower level
summer course management experience and are looking to progress their careers.

Compensation
640 per week
12.1% holiday pay added to final payment at end of contract.
