Working for PGL?

Hey mate,I got a response for a telephone interview a day after applying. I then chose a day for the call, the earliest one was a month in advance, but I assume that was due to the season starting. A month later, I had the interview and passed after a couple of questions. I’m just completing all the forms for medical, DBS and contracts with the training course staring in a couple weeks. As for experience, I had a quite bit as I worked as a swimming instructor and fitness coach throughout my degree, but I’m sure as long as you can justify your reasons why you want to work with kids / teen, understanding how to interact with them, you’ll be fine.

Cheers. One more thing - during your application, did you have to include any references? I read online that you have to include 2-3, but during the application I wasn’t asked to add any (I was only asked two question, “why do you want to work with kids” and “what work experience do you have”). Was this the same for you? Also, how were you contacted for an interview? I just got an email saying that my application had been withdrew because I never scheduled an interview, even though I was never asked to 😬

After I applied, I recived an email directing me to a 'PGL portal' where you schedule yourself a telephone interview from a list of avaialble dates. Before your telephone interview, they'll be a pre-interview questionaire, which is where you include your references along with other informaton. As for the withdrawal, maybe the e-mail link to the application portal was sent to spam, another place or accidnetly deleted? Try contacting the recruitment team as there really helpful and can sort that out. Give me a shout if you have anymore questions!

Thanks so much for all of your help 😁 So you passed the interview and got the job before your references were confirmed? I've emailed PGL and they said that they've reactivated my application, hopefully I won't have to wait a month again for them to reply 😂. Do you remember any of the interview questions? I may even end up at Osmington Bay too

Does anyone know what to take/wear to the training week?

Apologies for reviving this thread

Has anyone worked in PGL?? how long is training for Activitiy instrutor/group leader? and were does the training usually taking place?

I worked as an AIGL at PGL Beam House. The training lasted 6 days for me but you could train anywhere there’s no set centre to train at, they’ll tell you the details of that when you’re close to leaving your home town for PGL
