Big Rock Climbing Centre is an exciting new development in Milton Keynes that will be opening in July 2010. The centre is being set up as a collaboration between The Beacon Climbing Centre in N Wales and two local climbers.

We are currently looking for suitable individuals to form the centre’s management team which we anticipate will comprise a manager and two deputy managers who, between them, will have full responsibility for the day to day running of the centre. The following attributes are considered essential for these posts:
• Dynamic & enthusiastic with excellent attention to detail
• Genuine interest in climbing
• Ability to manage & inspire a team of Centre Assistants, instructors & route setters
• Good understanding of the way modern climbing walls operate
• Willingness to work occasional weekend & evening shifts
Other important attributes for various members of the management team would include:
