Buxton, Derbyshire, United Kingdom Go Ape Full time

Senior Customer Activity Assistant (Outdoor)

What are we looking for?
We're passionate about giving the customer an experience to remember every visit - that's why we need hard working, friendly and adventurous people who really care about providing the best experience possible

We're looking for Senior Customer Activity Assistants to look after our customers in the great outdoors, at site and in the woods as they take on their Go Ape challenge - you'll be fitting harnesses, delivering safety briefs and training, out and about assisting with local marketing and much more besides - depending on which site you're at, you'll be on one or more activities - up in the trees on Tree Top Challenge/Tree Top Adventure, whizzing around on segways, bouncing around in nets or zipping on zip trek

WHO ARE WE?
Go Ape is the UKs number 1 adventure company with 33 locations nationwide and more than 8 different activities.

We've been providing adventures since 2002 and have welcomed over 10 million customers, but we're not done yet and have big ambitions for the future.


Go Ape is now Employee Owned that means every Go Ape employee whether full time, part time or a seasonal worker are now co-owners of the business.

As a co-owner you will be empowered to voice your opinions and ideas through an elected Employee Council and have a real say in helping to shape the business.

There is also the potential to award tax-free bonuses to all co-owners.

We know our teams are the people most passionate about the company and its values and they should also reap the rewards for their hard work and dedication.

In other exciting news - we're working towards carbon neutrality this year - currently reviewing all of our energy consumption with the aim of reducing and off-setting our carbon footprint, really rather proud of the £120k we've raised for our charity partner the Prince's Trust in the last year, and we're on the journey to becoming a B Corp certified company - meaning we can truly demonstrate that we put people and planet before profit


Joining Go Ape you'll feel a great sense of camaraderie and connectedness within the teams, and we're committed to training you to our high standards with Go Ape's in-house training programme - a mixture of online and practical development.
