Adventure Plus works with 7,500 young people each year in a positive Christian environment. We are currently working towards the development of an AdventureBase which will more than double our capacity, and significantly enhance the quality and expand the range of activities we can offer.

They will: build relationships with young people - inspiring them, building their confidence and equipping them to fully participate in activities; and maintain key relationships with clients.
Working with groups of around 10, you will coach young people – establishing and maintaining confidence over one or more sessions ranging from 3 hours up to a series of events over a week’s residential. These events also provide an exciting opportunity to encourage participants to stay in touch with A+, joining us for our Total Adventure Holidays and possibly even signing up for our Instructor Training (& discipleship) Gap Year.
