Bring the natural world to life! Fantastic opportunities for geography, geology and ecology graduates to work in an area of outstanding natural beauty on the Jurassic Coast.

PGL offers residential Field Studies courses to primary, secondary and A Level guests. Using your knowledge from your Environmental Science, Geology, Geography or other relevant degree, you'll work with a group of up to 12 children or teenagers, taking sole responsibility for their Field Studies sessions. With the centre and surrounding areas of scientific interest as their classroom, your group will have the chance to search for freshwater invertebrates, dress up as historical characters or discover fossils of organisms that sunk into the Jurassic mud over 160 million years ago!

All study units are as practical as possible with groups working largely outdoors. You'll work as part of our Study Course Instructor team and may find yourself working across our product range from time to time, assisting with Science, Maths or IT sessions too. In addition, we run Physics and Chemistry based Science courses, Maths courses and ICT courses, all aimed at primary school groups. Together they are known as our Study Courses. Our Field Studies Instructors are also trained to deliver our core land-based activities including abseiling, mountain biking and climbing so you will lead these sessions when not on field studies duty.
