Supporting our colleagues in making PGL an incredible place to work
PGL creates extraordinary breakthroughs for children through active and 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 common purpose to deliver enriching and transformative experiences to the younger generation.
By joining PGL, you’ll play a key role in delivering on our mission to make outdoor education more impactful, sustainable, and inclusive for future generations. Excited? So are we!
Make a difference as a People & Culture Officer
At PGL, people are people, not ‘resources’. So we waved farewell to ‘Human Resources’, and introduced ‘People & Culture’, which much better reflects our two key priorities; looking after our people, and developing an amazing culture... which go hand-in-hand like kids and ziplines!
Our People & Culture Officers are experts in balancing the fun and professional working environment which makes #TeamPGL so special. In this role you’ll gain an appreciation of what makes our people tick, what is important to our colleagues and use this information to continuously improve the way the P&C team operate.
You will be providing vital support our colleagues, from acting as a champion for their welfare and wellbeing, to providing professional guidance & advice to our line managers to help them lead their team & resolve employee queries in the best possible way. You’ll enjoy building an excellent working relationship with the central resourcing team to achieve our recruitment goals, and the central people development team to upskill and train management teams.
Is this you?
Previous experience working in an advisory HR or People & Culture role is essential. You will have experience in advising and partnering line managers in employee relation cases, providing professional advice based on a good knowledge of employment law. Alongside being an advocate of colleague engagement and wellbeing.
You will have strong organisational skills, analytically minded with ability to produce informative reports and presentations. You should also have experience of delivering training and interviewing.
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, sexuality/gender identity, SEND, 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 25 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 employees must undergo an Enhanced criminal records 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.
