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.

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.

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.
