Job Description

With a brand-new climbing wall as part of our £10 million youth facility, we’re looking for Sessional Youth Workers – Climbing to deliver fun, safe, and challenging sessions that inspire young people to push themselves, build confidence, and learn new skills. From inductions and supervised climbs to supporting NICAS awards, you’ll make climbing accessible, engaging, and exciting for young people aged 8–19 (or up to 25 with SEND). You’ll also carry out safety checks, run developmental sessions, and create a welcoming environment that motivates young people to keep progressing.
You’ll need a Climbing Wall Instructor qualification (or the experience to quickly achieve this), along with experience in climbing instruction and wall safety checks. Knowledge of health & safety in a climbing environment and experience working with young people, including those with SEND, are also essential. Above all, you’ll bring energy, patience, and the ability to inspire confidence and enthusiasm in every session.
