Parkour UK – Work With Us

Parkour UK are working to serve, elevate and add value to our community.

We are looking to build a team of individuals who come from different backgrounds that support our values; freedom, self-discipline, challenge & community.

Parkour UK and Holacracy

Parkour UK will adopt some of the principles of Holacracy, as we believe this reflects the culture of the community in which we work and represent. 

These principles include embracing autonomy and creative problem-solving capacities and working in agile, self-organising networks. 

You do not need to have any experience or understanding of holacracy to apply but if you are looking for formal line managers to hand hold you, then this organisation will not be the right fit.
