THE ROLE
Say NO to normal and YES to a job that offers outdoor adventure, friendship, fantastic earning potential and real career development.
In this unique role as an Activity Instructor / Group Leader for PGL, you’ll be delivering a range of fun & adventurous activities from archery & abseiling to zooming on zip wires, organising evening entertainment, being the group’s main point of contact and everything in-between. You’ll be enriching the lives of young people by instilling a love of adventure and the great outdoors, encouraging independence and empowering them to achieve amazing things in the future. You’ll also be supporting our hospitality team, which could involve assisting in catering, housekeeping or retail. No two days will ever be the same!
PGL is renowned for its investment in people. We’ll support you in achieving your goals, including all the training you need to be confident in your role, a personal development plan, and nationally recognised qualifications funded by PGL to give your career the very best start.
IS THIS YOU?
A confident, engaging and playful personality who can find the fun in every situation
Loves being active in the outdoors or has a passion for sport & leisure – this is a demanding role so you will need a reasonable level of fitness
Ideally you will have experience of interacting with children, such as being involved with scouts/guides/cadet groups, coaching sports teams, helping out at youth groups or caring for younger family members
THE PACKAGE
We are renowned for our personal development & investment in people, we are ready to support you in your career development, each step of the way! You’ll have all the training you need to be confident and successful in your role, be equipped with a personal development plan, and access to nationally recognised qualifications funded by PGL to give your career the very best start.
Happy holidays - time to recharge and enjoy time away from the workplace. You’ll also enjoy an extra day off on your birthday!
Investing in your future – with sector leading family friendly policies, a contributory pension and death in service cover
Good living, for less - access to big savings and exclusive perks that span a huge range of retailers and service providers. Plus PGL discounted holidays and 20% discount in all our on-site shops
Take care of mind, body and soul - your wellbeing is top priority, so we’ve created a WELLBEING HUB for all our colleagues
Smart saving, affordable borrowing – access to our financial wellbeing platform for financial support when you need it. This includes easy and affordable saving and borrowing directly from your salary, plus useful guides on how to effectively manage your money
Doing good does you good - paid time-off to volunteer your time to worthwhile causes
For any enquiries specific to this role please email resourcing@pgl.co.uk
We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, and recognise the importance and benefits of a diverse and inclusive team. However, the protection and safeguarding of the children visiting our centres is our primary concern. So all colleagues are required to undergo an Enhanced criminal records check (known as a DBS), which we will pay for. You will be required to provide a 5 year address history and ID documentation (ie British or Irish passport or birth certificate). If you have a conviction related to violence, drugs or safeguarding this could affect your application. Not all criminal convictions will be a bar to working for us and we will consider the results on an individual basis. You can find more information on DBS checks on the gov.uk website.
