Field Studies Instructor - work in stunning locations across the UK!

Bring the natural world to life! Fantastic opportunities for graduates to work in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

PGL is the UK's leading provider of residential activity holidays and study courses for young people. More than 400,000
young guests enjoy a PGL trip each year, and we're looking for energetic staff team members to make that happen.

PGL offers residential Field Studies courses to primary, secondary and A Level guests. Using your knowledge from your
Environmental Science, Geology, Geography or other relevant degree, you'll work with a group of up to 12 children or
teenagers, taking sole responsibility for their Field Studies sessions.

Being a PGL Field Studies Instructor provides a great opportunity to put your degree into practise in a rewarding,
supportive environment where the emphasis is on fun and self development.

With the centre and surrounding areas of scientific interest as their classroom, your group will have the chance to
search for freshwater invertebrates, dress up as historical characters or discover fossils of organisms that sunk into
the Jurassic mud over 160 million years ago!

All study units are as practical as possible with groups working largely outdoors. Pocket PCs and digital cameras help
them to collect data so they can write up and present their findings at a later date; often whilst on centre.

There are some fantastic opportunities to work in our higher level Field Studies courses in Iceland, the Swiss/French
Alps, the Ardche and our centre on the Isle of Arran in Scotland. These opportunities are generally offered to those
individuals who show particular aptitude during their time working in our 'core' areas.

You'll also have the opportunity to take part in dynamic pre-employment training and have a fantastic introduction to
teaching.

In addition, we run Physics and Chemistry based Science courses, Maths courses and ICT courses, all aimed at primary
school groups, which you may be given the opportunity to lead sessions in. Together they are known as our Study Courses.

Our Field Studies Instructors are also trained to deliver our core land-based activities including abseiling, mountain
biking and climbing so you can lead these sessions when not on field studies duty, such as during the peak school summer
holiday weeks.

The time split between study course sessions and leading activities will vary dependent on the centre. At key times of
the season, you could lead Field Studies sessions full-time, including off-site excursions, whilst at quieter times of
the year, you could be leading more land-based activity sessions.

Successful applicants are required to undergo an enhanced CRB disclosure, which PGL will pay for.

You need to possess the legal right to live and work in the UK to be considered for this position.

PGL is committed to the principle of equality and diversity. We welcome applicants from all sectors of the community.
