Action Centres UK - Opportunities

What is it?

The Trainee Scheme is a one-year training course in Activities Leadership. Trainees undergo a comprehensive training programme designed to teach the necessary skills for leading safe activity sessions, encourage the development of a personal leadership style and create an impact on guests who use the Centres.

Who is it for?
