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
