At Parkdean Resorts, every park is a place to start something great; a place where you can develop your skills, take on new challenges, and thrive alongside a team that supports you every step of the way. 

Our parks create meaningful memories for our guests and know that great service is more than a smile - it’s understanding the value of every moment. Because it’s not just what we do, it’s who we are. Join a team that puts heart into every holiday.  Be the Heart of the Park.

At Parkdean Resorts, we're on the lookout for exceptional leaders to join us as Designate General Manager - a key role in our future General Manager talent pipeline. 

As a Designate General Manager, you’ll work across multiple parks within your region, building the skills and experience needed to progress into your own General Manager position. You’ll play a crucial part in delivering outstanding guest and owner experiences, supporting operational excellence, and driving commercial performance. 

This is your opportunity to learn how to run a thriving holiday park from end to end. You’ll gain hands-on experience across every department, develop strong commercial and operational capability, and step into real leadership responsibility from day one.

  • Work across all departments, gaining hands-on experience and developing the capability to independently run a large, multi-functional holiday park. 
  • Collaborate with General Managers to drive improvements in systems, processes, and overall park performance. 
  • Develop strong knowledge of all Group and park systems, supporting Heads of Department and ensuring effective operational use. 
  • Support financial performance, including revenue, profit margins, budgets, wage control, and EBITDA delivery. 
  • Work closely with our central People Team to recruit, onboard, train, and develop team members at every level. 
  • Lead key operational meetings, including HOD meetings, 1:1s, and monthly Health & Safety briefings. 
  • Develop and support departmental business plans with performance targets and clear reporting. 
  • Use guest feedback and data to shape improvement plans that enhance our owner and holidaymaker experience. 
  • Drive commercial opportunities, supporting strategies to maximise sales and profit margins. 
  • Ensure effective complaints management in line with company policy. 

About you...

  • Proven senior leadership experience managing large, multi-disciplinary teams. 
  • A leadership style that promotes positive culture, teamwork, development, and accountability. 
  • Strong commercial awareness, including an understanding of financial performance and EBITDA targets. 
  • Excellent communication, influencing, and negotiation skills. 
  • Strong IT capability, with the confidence to learn and use a wide range of business systems. 
  • Outstanding organisational and planning skills, with the resilience to thrive in a fast-paced environment. 
  • Flexibility to work weekends, evenings, and bank holidays when needed. 
  • High emotional intelligence, with the ability to lead through change and manage challenging situations. 
  • A personal commitment to career growth, with a clear ambition to become a General Manager. 
  • A full UK driving licence and flexibility to travel across the region.
