Work for us

We have expanded our RealRock programme this year and are looking for a freelance instructor to help us deliver sessions

What is RealRock?

RealRock sessions are subsidized outdoor sessions run for under 18's in Scotland, currently run in house by our Development Officer's, Calum and Robert. The aim of these sessions is to make outdoor climbing more accessible to young people by adding to the skills they have already developed climbing inside. RealRock sessions cover a wide spectrum of abilities from those who only boulder wanting to tackle some problems outside, to young people wanting to start or improve their trad lead climbing.

Sessions we run

  • Outdoor intro (bouldering)
  • Outdoor intro (bottom-roping)
  • Learn to Lead Sport (beginners)
  • Learn to Lead Sport (improvers)
  • Learn to Lead Trad

Who are we looking for

We're looking for someone who is keen to work with and inspire the next generation of young climbers. We are particularly keen to encourage applicants from female instructors and/or instructors from BAME backgrounds. We are committed to improving diversity in the outdoors and we believe a big part of this is showing younger climbers a diverse variety of role models in instructing/coaching positions.
