Made by adventure 

PGL is shaping the next generation through extraordinary residential adventures. Our award-winning programmes help children discover the fun of being outdoors, promote wellbeing, develop character, and build real-world skills for life. Will you join the adventure?  

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.  

Make a difference as a Retail Team Leader 

You’ll oversee our on-site retail and bar areas, providing a friendly and welcoming service to our young guests, families and other visitors. You’ll ensure your team keeps these areas stocked, organised and visually appealing, encouraging creativity with shop & bar displays to keep them fresh and fun.  

You’ll maximise productivity and profitability through effective stock management, spending incentives and cash handling. You’ll share your marketing ideas to enhance our retail environments and oversee a fun programme of entertainment for our guests using our bar areas during their stay.   

Is this you? 

• A strong background in retail 
  
• Excellent leadership and communication skills 
  
• Creativity and commercial awareness 

You’ll need great interpersonal skills to assist and engage with our guests, leadership ability to inspire and lead your team, and confidence and problem-solving talent to resolve any issues that stand in the way of achieving your targets through delivering excellent guest experiences. 

We’re looking for individuals with 3+ months experience within a retail and / or bar role. Experience of supervising a team is a bonus, but not essential for this position as management training will be given. 

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, use your valuable skills for good and celebrate what makes you brilliantly unique. 

Fair pay and benefits for all 

• 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.

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.
