You'll need great interpersonal skills to connect with our guests, leadership ability to inspire and lead your team, and confidence to handle complex dietary & allergen requirements and maintain excellent food safety standards and procedures. We’re looking for individuals with three or more months experience within a catering role and a level 3 or above qualification in Food Safety. Experience of working with young people and supervising a team is a bonus, but not essential for this position. Above all, it’s our core values of FUN, SAFETY, QUALITY, INCLUSIVITY, TEAMWORK and RESPECT that unite us.

PGL is a world where children achieve the ‘impossible’. Our residential adventure camps create extraordinary breakthroughs through life‑affirming experiences in the great outdoors. But that’s not all… we’re part of something bigger. We’re powered by PGL Beyond, a group of inspiring companies with a shared purpose to deliver enriching and transformative experiences to the next generation. Will you join us?

Make a difference as a Catering Team Leader. Our catering team is responsible for keeping our guests and colleagues fuelled and hydrated, ready for the adventure that awaits them. Reporting to the Front of House Manager, you’ll be leading a team of Catering Assistants to ensure the dining room is clean and inviting, the food tasty and appealing, and our guests happy and well looked after.

• On top of your 20 days annual leave (+ 8 bank holidays), you’ll also enjoy your birthday off, have paid volunteering days to help worthwhile causes and the option to purchase additional holiday.
• A career with ongoing growth, aided development, mentoring, multiple pathways and opportunities to work across different UK or French locations.
• 24/7 access to our Wellbeing Hub alongside our Employee Assistance Program.
• Sector‑leading family‑friendly policies and a contributory pension.
• Access to our financial wellbeing platform where you can borrow or save directly from your salary.
• Free/discounted PGL breaks for your family & discounts at 800+ retailers.
