We are looking to recruit an energetic, proactive and relentlessly organised person to coordinate, manage and deliver the Sickle Cell Family Retreat. This is an educational and exciting holistic experience for around 30 families who have at least one child aged between 6 and 15 years old who lives with sickle cell disorder.

The 2025 Family retreat will take place from Friday 29th August to Sunday 31st August 2025 at Whitemoor Lakes near Lichfield. The post holder must be available on these dates and be willing to stay overnight.

The retreat takes around 200 hours to plan (including post-retreat wrap up and evaluation). Delivery, which is in addition to these hours, happens over three days.

This role involves overseeing and coordinating all aspects of the Family Retreat, from planning and logistics to on-the-ground management and post-event reporting. Responsibilities include managing the applications process to ensure a broad spread of  families are able to attend, retreat promotion and preparation, budgeting, coordinating volunteers, on-site management during the retreat, and evaluation and reporting.

The role centres on delivering a well-organised, safe, and impactful retreat experience for families, handling everything from planning to event weekend leadership and follow-up.  Full details are in the Job description and person specification
