Centre Manager

Oxford International Junior Programmes offers a range of summertime ESL programmes at carefully chosen centres in the UK, Canada, and the US. Our programmes aim to create a study experience of educational value, of cultural interest, and, of course, full of fun and memories to take home. Our Toronto summer program is based at Toronto Metropolitan University*, where students receive a combination of 15 hours English language tuition per week and a comprehensive programme of activities and excursions. The activity programme will include daytime and evening activities as well as half-day and full-day excursions to attractions and places of cultural interest. We are currently looking for staff for contracts of various length from end-of-June to early August 2026 (programme dates are June 28 – August 9, 2026). A limited number of residential positions are available. The Centre Manager (CM) is the most senior post at the centre, where you will be in charge of all aspects of the day-to-day management: from ensuring staff and student welfare, managing finances, quality control, staffing and accommodation to dealing with clients and liaising with TMU staff. This is a role with a very demanding workload, and our preference is for the Centre Manager to live on campus at TMU. Room and board at TMU is included as part of the salary for this role. In this role, you will work with a team of staff to ensure successful operations in all areas of the program, including academics, on-site and off-site activities, transportation, residence, homestay, and student welfare. While each staff member is responsible for a particular area of the program, the Centre Manager is responsible for troubleshooting and oversight in all areas. The Centre Manager takes care of 2-3 full-time direct reports and up to 25 indirect reports (mainly teachers and activity leaders). Most students will arrive in Vancouver in a group with a chaperone (Group Leader) and the Centre Manager is the key point of contact for these Group Leaders. The CM shares important information about schedules and centre guidelines with the Group Leaders, as well as helping to manage any concerns that arise. The Centre Manager helps to manage any student behavior concerns. The Centre Manager is also in charge of finances for their centre, ensuring that all expenses are within budget and receive appropriate approvals.
