GB Climbing - National Route Setter

After competition climbing made its debut at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games it has now been confirmed as being included in the future Olympic sports programme for Paris 2024 and LA 2028.

We are on an exciting journey to cultivate a sustainable talent and performance pathway to achieve our long-term ambition to become one of the leading competition climbing nations by 2032. This new role will support the development of a holistic performance culture within GB Climbing, including cultivating a sustainable high-performing team environment that gives talented athletes the highest potential for positive progress through GB Climbing Talent and Performance programmes and into the GB Teams.

The GB Climbing National Route Setter will provide leadership and oversight in delivery of aligned route setting for Boulder and Lead Climbing across GB Climbing Domestic competitions and the GB Climbing Talent and Performance programmes. Based predominantly at the GB Climbing Elite Training Centre (currently at the Climbing Works in Sheffield) working with the GB Climbing Competition Programme Manager and the GB Climbing Head Coach – Olympic, the role will ensure route setting supports the progressive development of GB athletes through delivery of appropriate style and standard against agreed briefs.

If you are grounded, a hard-working team player, committed to the long-term success of GB Climbing, with the ability to develop clear and transparent communication processes that support positive, trusting, collaborative, and effective relationships with talented athletes, parents, personal coaches and colleagues we would love to hear from you - as these will be essential skills to successfully deliver in this role.
