General Questions

Seasons: February to mid July

  • Available start dates: Some hospitality jobs may start in Feb. All Adventure Instructor jobs start in April.
  • Activity instructor/group Leader jobs all begin with an in-house training course, dates for these are fixed in advanced.

  • Spring is the period from March to May. Spring is a calm, cool and dry season, particularly because the atlantic has lost much of its heat throughout the autumn and winter.
  • Summer lasts from june to august. Summer is the warmest and usually the sunniest season. Rainfall totals can have a wide local variation due to localised thunderstorms.
  • Autumn in the united kingdom lasts from September to November The season is notorious for being unsettled – as cool polar air moves south, following the sun, it meets the warm air of the tropics and produces a region of great disturbance (aka the UK).
  • Winter in the UK lasts from December to February - The season is cool, wet and windy. Temperatures at night rarely drop below ?10 °C (14 °F) and in the day rarely rise above 15 °C (59 °F). Precipitation is plentiful throughout the season though snow is relatively infrequent despite the country’s high latitude.

The Working Holiday Club™ has a set number of spots. The sooner you book with us, the better match your preferences will be from your application. Feb – mid July are the dates when the camps operate, so keep that in mind when booking. The earlier you book, the larger the location options will be.

Absolutely! If you have your heart set on a sail to Croatia or want to go backpacking in Asia for two months; we’ll make sure everything is organised before you leave, and everything is ready for when you get to London.

It isn’t mandatory, but we certainly recommend it for everyone going over our programs. As part of your Visa fees, it will be £1552 for your Immigration Healthcare Surcharge. This allows you access to the NHS and standard health coverage while you are in the United Kingdom on the Tier 5 Youth Mobility Visa. Like Medicare here in Australia, it covers some medical expenses and does not cover some others.

Here are some links that will help give you some more information; www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/overview ; www.nhs.uk/NHSEngland/thenhs/about/Pages/overview.

Of course, you will only be covered while you are in the United Kingdom, so if you are at any point travelling to Europe or elsewhere, you will want to make sure you are covered for any accidents or emergencies. We partner with Allianz and Aussie Travel Cover to offer travel insurance at competitive rates for any of our participants heading over to the UK who require coverage.

In most cases, it won’t be a problem. As long as you are giving us a minimum of 30 days' notice, then we will be able to postpone your Jumpstart London program until a later date. If your Visa has already been approved however, conditions then may apply.

  • Day 1: Arriving in London – touchdown! Head straight to your hostel to check-in, drop your luggage, catch up on some sleep… or, head out to explore London
  • Day 2: Orientation – During orientation, our UK program coordinator will help you get all of your essentials set up (i.e., bank account, NI number, phone sim card)
  • Day 3 & 4: Settle in – you will need these days to finalise everything in London (get over the jet lag, set up your bank account, get your NI number and pick up your Biometrics Residence Permit) before you head off to camp. You will finish off the week with our free walking tour of London, as well as an epic trip on Central London’s biggest pub crawl in Leicester Square
  • Day 5: Off to your Adventure Resort – you will need to make your way to your centre or training venue, depending on which you need to go to first. If you are traveling by public transport, you will need to get yourself to the closest coach, bus or train to the destination and we will send someone to collect you Adventure guides will need to complete a 10-day equipment OHS training – all expenses will be covered, including travel, food, and rent
  • When you arrive at your resort location for training, you will be picked up by a resort staff member. On completion of your training (should you opt for an Adventure Guide role) you will again be transported, free of charge, to your Adventure Resort to start your contract.

*A refund is payable if you are declined for an Adventure Resort position. If you are declined as a direct result of misleading or false information on your application, no refund will be offered. You are permitted to swap another UK Live Work and Play program such as Jumpstart London™ no extra cost.
