Make a difference as a Facilities Assistant

Our Facilities Assistants are the hands-on heroes who help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, making sure our centres are always safe, clean and welcoming for our guests

They’re the go-to problem solvers - sweeping in to fix what’s broken, tidy what’s messy, and flag anything that’s not quite right. Whether it’s a leaky tap, a scuffed floor or an unexpected emergency, they’re ready to lend a hand and keep our spaces in top shape, every single day.

You’ll also need a UK Driving Licence to drive our centre vehicles.

Its busy, physical work, but it’s never boring!

• 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

We’re part of something bigger

We’re proud to be part of PGL Beyond, a network of educational travel brands which empowers young people to explore, grow and thrive - through exceptional experiences that go beyond the classroom. Together, we’re making a difference.

We hire the best talent and value a diverse, inclusive team; so, we are dedicated to ensuring our application process is accessible to everyone and are happy to provide helpful adjustments to make it easier to complete. Simply email or call us with detail around the adjustments you need. However, our top priority is the safety of the guests on our centres. Therefore, all centre based employees and some specific Head Office employees must undergo an Enhanced criminal record check (known as DBS or PVG), which we pay for. You will need to provide a 5-year address history and ID (such as passport/birth certificate). Convictions related to violence, drugs, or safeguarding may affect your application. Not all convictions will disqualify you, as we assess each case individually.
