Current Vacancies

Thank you for your interest in working with us! To find out more about us and the team you could be joining – browse the website, look us up on social media, give us a call, or come and see us in action.

At CYE we have built a reputation for excellent provision of exciting and adventurous activities. As a Christian organisation, we share the gospel in what we do and how we work, therefore it is a genuine occupational requirement for post-holders to be a committed Christian.

Fundraising & Engagement Manager

This is a strategic, relational and hands-on leadership role. You’ll be responsible for developing and delivering CYE’s fundraising and engagement strategy, covering all non-fee income streams and supporter communications. You’ll oversee a small team of staff and volunteers, report to the Centre Director and trustees, and work across departments to keep our message clear and compelling.

As part of your outward-facing role, you’ll also deliver engaging presentations to schools, churches, and other groups, helping new and returning communities connect with what CYE offers and why it matters. Due to the integral nature of this role, there is a genuine occupational requirement that the post-holder is a committed Christian.

This is a role for someone who enjoys the big picture, but also knows how to roll up their sleeves.

Admin Volunteers

For those with admin experience – come and be part of a great team who generally manage to keep drier than those out on the water. Email us if you have some time to offer and want to be a part of CYE life.

Maintenance Volunteers (Mondays)

We have a fantastic group of willing volunteers help us out on Mondays with a variety of maintenance tasks around site – fondly known as ‘The COGS’; because they keep the place going! Do you have skills such as electronics, plumbing, decorating, woodwork, boat maintenance or general DIY that you could offer? If so, we’d love you to join this team. Your day will be headed up by Steve, our Maintenance Manager, and you’ll also have a tasty cake breaks and hot lunch provided and a chance to meet the rest of the staff team over lunch and coffee breaks.
