If you enjoy mucking in and working hard whilst instructing activities and also having the opportunity to get out and about in some fantastic locations, then we want you to apply! We are ideally looking for people with experience of working in outdoor adventure with young people between 7-17 years old.
Each year we recruit over 250 staff and send them out to our enviable locations. We believe in getting back to basics and using the real, natural environment to instruct and deliver sessions to our guests. Our staff get to make the most of these locations, whether that may be: leading a group down the Ardeche river in Southern France; hiking through the Italian Alps or windsurfing on a Spanish Beach. We can’t think of a better way to introduce children to the great outdoors.
Our Centres
We have seven centres which are set in some fantastic locations so that we can use the surrounding areas to provide our activities. We use mostly natural surroundings such as lakes, crags, rivers and caves, making us a unique company in the industry.
