I would like to join the Go Ape tribe for the outdoor, physical experience and customer satisfaction 
aspects that the position boasts. 
The part time hours and living 20minutes from the Birches Valley site, makes working flexible hours 
including weekends and holidays a suitable, economic and sustainable position. Currently I am self-employed 
running my own small business offering gardening and cleaning services and Mazda MX5 
sports car specialist services. I would like an enjoyable way to earn extra income by encouraging 
others and adding value to an adventurous, safe and fun day out. 
I have an outdoors life style and exercise daily two energetic dogs. I have an adventurous nature and 
enjoy the fresh air and the outdoors – whatever the weather. 
To support the working at heights aspect- I enjoy indoor climbing and have no problem with being at 
heights. Other hobbies include mountain biking and dance “Zumba”, badminton and cross country 
running. 
I would be interested to train and learn new skills to improve and enhance my interchangeable skill 
set as an individual and as part of the tribe. 
I am open to new experiences and challenges with a positive ‘can do’ attitude and zest to succeed 
with a friendly, fun loving nature. 
I aim to be smart, presentable and approachable in my appearance. I have a natural ‘want to please’ 
attitude and understand the benefits and enjoyment of fitness. I would like to work taking the 
satisfaction of knowing that on the adventurous experience, the guests leave with a desire to have a 
repeat Go Ape experience and to encourage others to pay a visit, having had lots of fun and a great 
day out! 
I can confidently demonstrate various management skills. Being self-employed has taught me 
routine, discipline, the importance of good time management, prioritising tasks, organisational skills 
and aiming towards customer satisfaction with attention to detail, adding value and face to face 
interaction. I understand the importance of keeping equipment in good serviceable condition and 
facilities clean, safe and tidy. I have basic mechanical experience and a “hands on” practical 
approach. I also have the ability to assist management and use my own initiative and common sense 
to operate and manage a site/business. 
I have good rounded communication skills, happy to speak in public to a group or one to one, able to 
give clear instruction, with a sense of humour and people skills. I have a polite phone manner and 
can communicate efficiently via email/internet. 
Part of past experience which supports my application and potential role at Go Ape is four years of 
teaching and caring for children up to the age of six years old with varying abilities. Part of my role 
was to support each child, helping them learn new skills and develop to reach their full potential by 
aiding and encouraging each child to build self-confidence and gain self-assurance in an enjoyable, 
reassuring, structured and friendly way, noticing their strengths and weaknesses; helping them to 
achieve different goals in a way which is unique to help each child succeed.
My experience of a Go Ape tree top adventure was when I was invited to visit Go Ape at Birches 
Valley visitors centre to escort a group of college students around the course on an organised event 
with Stafford College. Acting as the responsible but “fun” adult I enjoyed myself and my group gave 
positive feedback and excited enthusiasm throughout; knowing the students had a great time was 
gratifying and I got along well with each member of my small group. I am now a member of the 
Swingers club. 
General experience and skills I have include use of tills, handling cash, bookings, receipts, itineraries 
and general business management administration using basic computer skills with a good 
understanding of Microsoft software and programs used for invoicing, receipts and legal official 
letters and correspondence. I have a good understanding of the importance of health and safety, use 
of personal protective equipment, following procedures and respecting company policies, creating 
and maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment. 
I have a current First aid certificate, renewal date November 2014. 
I am the chief organiser and have gained experience in events management and organisation for 
large parties and groups, for an enthusiasts motor sport event held bi -annually. I look to apply these 
skills to group visits, stage do’s and parties booked at Go Ape. 
Overall I am happy to take an active role with the general maintenance, business and instructor 
aspects, conducting briefs as part of a team, helping to build a day to suite any tribe.
