Our Facilities Assistants are the hands-on heroes who help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes, ensuring our centres are safe, clean, and welcoming for guests. They are the go-to problem solvers — tackling leaks, tidying spaces, and flagging anything that’s not 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 day.

A UK Driving Licence is required to drive our centre vehicles. It’s busy, physical work, but it’s never boring. Are you a PGL person?

• No experience needed; your character is what we value most.
• PGL people are passionate about adventure and the outdoors.
• Friendly, team-oriented, 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 — in addition to annual leave, you’ll get your birthday off and paid volunteering days.
• 24/7 access to our Wellbeing Hub and an Employee Assistance Program.
• Access to our financial wellbeing platform for financial support if needed.
• Training and mentoring programme, career pathways, aided development and qualifications in future seasons.
