PGL is a world where children achieve the 'impossible'.

Our residential adventure camps create extraordinary breakthroughs by instilling a love of adventure and the great outdoors, encouraging independence and empowering them to achieve amazing things in the future.

Our purpose is to enrich the lives of children through the transformative power of adventure. Will you join us?

Being a Field Studies Instructor

Working with kids requires energy, confidence and effort; but we guarantee it's never, ever boring. The centre provides a spectacular location for taking the National Curriculum out of the classroom. As a PGL Field Studies Instructor, you will have the opportunity to bring the natural world to life introducing our guests to concepts of learning, using the outside world as your classroom.

You'll need a degree in Geography, Geography, Biology or similar subject and ideally also experienced with working/volunteering with children, such as being involved with guides/cadet groups, coaching sports teams, or helping out at youth groups. Alongside that, 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.

• Happy holidays! On top of your annual leave, you'll also get your birthday off and paid volunteering days to help worthwhile causes
