Duty Manager Job Description

To be a Duty Manager you will be passionate about climbing. This vital position will mean you are ‘hands on’ in the responsibility of running a high quality public sporting venue. You will report directly to the Centre Manager.

Your duties will involve a variety of back-office and customer facing tasks to ensure the smooth running of the centre for both staff and the public. This is a varied role with the opportunity to promote climbing as a fun and exhilarating sport to be enjoyed by all.

The centre is staffed on a shift basis seven days a week and therefore we require someone who can work as part of a team and on their own initiative. Hours to include evenings and weekends. We offer training on all our systems and all staff have access to free climbing at both our Craggy Island Climbing Centres. Salary is £15 – 16,000 pa for a 37.5 hour week.

If you are interested in applying for this position please send your C.V. and a letter letting us know why you want to be part of our crew to gareth@craggy-island.com

Or post to Craggy Island Indoor Climbing Centre Sutton, Oaks Sports Centre, Woodmansterne Road, Surrey, SM5 4AN

We’re continuing with our monthly route setting schedule here at Craggy2 so the next dates for your diary are:

Rock Room 18th – 21st April 2011
Comp Room 23 – 27th May 2011

This means Mark and Co. will be setting the usual range of ladders to fierce problems to tax your climbing skills. As ever we aim to have the setting and testing completed by approximately 18:30 each day and the room back open for you to try the new routes.

With the new routes comes Boulder League (our fun climbing competition) so the next dates for you to work to are:

Thursday 21st April 2011
Thursday 27th May 2011

They are posted as events on the Craggy Island Facebook page so why not keep track of things there?

And finally Mark will be holding his technique sessions on Saturday 16th of April so if you are looking to improve your grade and technique why not give our reception team a call on 08448 808 866 and book a space now!

Craggy2 is looking forward to welcoming all competitors and their supporters to the final round of SIBL 2011 held on Satruday 19th March.  Mark Croxall our main route setter will be working hard in the run up to the competition to set  competition routes that will tax both beginners and pro’s alike.

The times for the day are as follows:

Registration: 10.00 – 12.00
Junior Comp start: 11:00
Open Comp start: 12.00
Junior finish: 16:00
Adult finish: 17:00
Head to Head: 17:15
Prizes/end: 17:45

 The sponsors for this round are Lyon who have lined up some great prizes for the winners.
As an added bonus Rock On are sponsoring a prize draw traverse route (set by Dom). If you can complete the traverse you’ll be in with a chance of a prize! 

With registration starting at 10:00 and the event running throughout the day, the whole of Craggy2 will be closed to public climbing until 18:00. We expect the centre to be open as normal from 18:00 for the last hour of the day and you’ll be able to climb for a reduced rate of £5.00.

Good luck to all our competitors and we’re really looking forward to seeing you all on the 19th!
