Do you believe in the power of adventure?
PGL is a world where children achieve the 'impossible'.
Our residential adventure camps create extraordinary breakthroughs through active and life-affirming experiences in the great outdoors.
Our purpose is to enrich the lives of children through the transformative power of adventure. Will you join us?
Being an Activity Instructor / Group Leader
Working with kids requires energy, confidence and effort; but we guarantee it's never, ever boring.
You could be running activity sessions, lighting campfires, taking groups for meals, building shelters, checking equipment, telling daft jokes, comforting a home-sick guest or lending a helping hand to your hospitality colleagues. No two days will ever be the same.
Are you a PGL person?
No experience needed, your character is what we value most. PGL people are:
- Passionate about adventure and the great outdoors
- Friendly people who flourish in team environments
- Determined and resilient (peak periods are challenging)
Above all, it's our core values of FUN, SAFETY, QUALITY, INCLUSIVITY, TEAMWORK and RESPECT that unite us.
A place to thrive
No matter your background, ethnicity, age, neurodivergence or anything else ... PGL is a place to be yourself, have fun, make lifelong friends and celebrate what makes you brilliantly unique.
Fair pay and benefits for all
- Happy holidays On top of your annual leave, you'll also get your birthday off and paid volunteering days to help worthwhile causes
- 24/7 access to our Wellbeing Hub alongside our Employee Assistance Program
- Access to our financial wellbeing platform for financial support if you need it
- Training and mentoring programme, career pathways, aided development and qualifications in future seasons
- Big savings and exclusive perks at 100s of high street retailers, PGL discounted holidays and 20% discount in all our on-site shops
PGL is part of PGL Beyond, a group of innovative companies transforming the world of adventure through enriching experiences and breakthroughs.
