Job Description

If you love nothing more than being active, meeting new people, inspiring others, singing songs and spending time outside in the great outdoors then applying for this role could be the best decision you make this year.

PGL is the UK's market leading provider of activity holidays and study courses for young people with fantastic career development and training opportunities.

As an Activity Instructor/Group Leader (AI/GL), you'll introduce guests to a number of activities and deliver group taster sessions in our core activities, including orienteering, abseiling, climbing, fencing, motorsports, ropes challenge courses, initiative exercises and archery as well as helping to organise and participate in evening entertainments.

We look for energetic people who are willing to learn, with a commitment to customer service excellence to help to give our guests an experience of a lifetime. Any experience of volunteering or working with young people is a distinct advantage however no formal activity qualifications are required. However, you do need to be enthusiastic, willing to learn and have lots of energy! If you bring this we will train you and give you the confidence and skills to be successful and excel in this role.

This is a fantastic opportunity to share your love for sports, fun and the outdoors with our young guests at our 24 centres across the UK, France and Spain.

This role is particularly great for anyone looking to start their career in the outdoor industry, searching for a career break or a rewarding gap year project. You'll pick up numerous transferable skills for your CV including group communication, confidence, resourcefulness and how to handle situations as they arise.

Training
All AI/GLs undergo a comprehensive training programme when they first join PGL. Your aptitude and personal preference during this course, together with skills and experience given on your application, will determine whether your role will be made up mainly of instructing activities, or more pastoral duties, which may include a mix of instructing and organising evening entertainments.

As a first year Activity Instructor/Group Leader, you will be on our Foundation Programme and will be working towards a Level 2 Certificate in Introductory Work in the Outdoors.

Staff Package
We offer a competitive wage, paid monthly, meals and on-site accommodation provided, access to training and development opportunities and a FREE staff uniform that reflects your job role, location and contract length. If you are working overseas we also provide return transport from a UK departure point as part of your employment package.

This is a residential job role with staff accommodation provided on centre and is available at numerous locations across the UK, France and Spain.

Successful applicants are required to undergo an enhanced DBS disclosure, which PGL will pay for. You need to possess the legal right to live and work in the UK to be considered for employment with PGL.
