Jobs and Apprenticeships at PGL Marchants Hill outdoor activity centre

On the edge of the Devil’s Punchbowl and only 1 hour from central London.

With 120 other members of staff to get to know, Marchants Hill offers the best of both worlds – green spaces and city lights. Set amongst trees in the Surrey countryside within walking distance of the Devils Punchbowl (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) with miles of walking and cycling tracks even the most avid adventurer could be entertained for days.

If it’s the bright lights, shops and shows that you crave on your days off – you can jump on the train and be in central London in an hour. Activity bases for over 20 activities are dotted around the 45 acre centre and to top it all off – a state of the art Sports Hall (for those rainy days).
