It's an exciting time to join the British Mountaineering Council, and the GB Climbing department.

This is a new role and the post holder will help to develop and implement administrative processes within the GB Climbing department of the British Mountaineering Council (BMC). This will be multi-faceted administration role from being the first point of contact via telephone or email into the department at the BMC, filtering enquiries to the relevant GB Climbing team member, whilst also providing financial administration, competition events administration, general administration support through to supporting travel and logistical booking support to the GB Climbing National Teams.

We would love to hear from anyone interested to join us in this critical new support role.

Attention to detail and being well organised is critical in this role. We work at pace, and have a friendly team environment. Team work will be a key aspect of the role, as will be the ability to work autonomously, when other staff are out and about at competitions and events.

We work developing pathways for summer Olympic competition climbing disciplines of lead, boulder and speed, ParaClimbing, ice climbing and ski mountaineering from delivering domestic events through to sending teams to overseas completions, so lots going on.
