The Westminster Lodge Climbing Wall in St Albans is looking for new coaches to add to its team.

About us;

For over ten years the Westminster Lodge Climbing wall has delivered climbing to the local community. With 33 regularly reset roped routes ranging from grades 4-7b and a bouldering wall with 30 problems ranging from v0 to v6 our wall offers plenty of options for our climbing customers and requires a wide range of coaches to fully optimise our facility.

Our sessions include a NICAS junior club which sees over a hundred young climbers attending each week, private coaching, junior squad, beginner courses and a variety of taster and group sessions.

Who we're looking for;

Going into 2023 we're looking to enhance our coaching team with a mix of pre qualified coaches (CWI, CWDI, RCI or equivalent) as well as keen experienced climbers looking to start their career in coaching, and take advantage of our comprehensive and extensive in house training programme.

We're offering a range of different part time shift patterns. Applicants will have to be available on weekends to align with the climbing walls peak times.

Our recruitment will be done in phases across the year. Please see below the deadlines for applications as well as the availability required for training/inductions. Please only apply if you can commit to the 2 day training date for that application period.
