As market leaders, we have a proven track record in delivering a fun, inclusive and rewarding indoor climbing experience since the opening of our first centre in Manchester, in 2005. In our existing 4 climbing centres we offer climbing for everyone; a passionate community that inspires and grows the next generation of climbers and this is what we're aiming to offer in Wandsworth. 

Our 25,000 sq ft Wandsworth facility will be state of the art and will include Paris 2024's Olympic bouldering wall "The Titan".

Our customers will enjoy quality route-setting, excellent training and fitness facilities, delicious, locally sourced food and drinks from our café and the latest climbing merchandise and kit from our shop.

Open every day from morning until late evening, managing our centres requires an energetic and self-motivated person. Additionally, the commercially astute Centre Manager will be responsible for the profitability of the centre, development of the centre team and ensuring our customers have a fantastic and safe experience during every visit.

The Wandsworth Centre Manager will be well supported by an experienced company management team. We will provide training and development to ensure that the right candidate will flourish in the role and grow with the company.
