We recognise that athletes need to be able to train and compete on the relevant terrain (routes/blocks) and to do this, we need to develop our setting workforce, working in partnership with climbing facilities. Therefore, we are looking to recruit Head Setter to lead on the organisation of route setting to deliver our competition and squad programmes, as well as to lead on the development of our route setting workforce.

• Role: Head Setter
• Hours: 0.5 FTE Contract (18.5hr/week)
• Salary scale: £24,921 – £29,074 pro rata (depending on experience)
• Location: Remote/hybrid working with occasional attendance at our Head Office in Perth

The successful applicant will be someone with a strong and passionate work ethic, a growth mindset and someone committed to their own development, as well as those around them. Working across multiple levels – from GB Climbing to climbing wall setters – means you’ll need to be grounded, collaborative and able to build positive working relationships with sector partners (including GB Climbing, BMC, ABC) as well as climbing facility management and staff.

If you have experience of competition setting, a solid understanding of competition formats and rules, and the ability and experience to set appropriately to climbers’ age and developmental stage, you might be the person we’re looking for.

This is a part time post at 0.5 full time equivalent position (FTE) working 18.5 hours per week.
