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.

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

We hire the best talent and value a diverse, inclusive team; so, we are dedicated to ensuring our application process is accessible to everyone and are happy to provide helpful adjustments to make it easier to complete. Simply email or call us with detail around the adjustments you need. However, our top priority is the safety of the guests on our centres. Therefore, all employees must undergo an Enhanced criminal records check (known as DBS or PVG), which we pay for. You will need to provide a 5-year address history and ID (such as passport/birth certificate). Convictions related to violence, drugs, or safeguarding may affect your application. Not all convictions will disqualify you, as we assess each case separately.
