Yonder is recruiting.

Yonder is the latest addition to London’s growing climbing scene and we’re on the hunt for staff. We’ve got a few key roles mapped out, but the important thing to us is fostering a team of diverse, exciting people and building specific roles around that.

We’re offering something slightly different to most walls. As well as a top spec bouldering facility, Yonder will house a fully equipped co-work space and workshop, a dedicated yoga studio and a bar and café. It will be a space for people to work, play, create and unwind; a focal point for the local community. Check out the link to our Kickstarter video for a little more information on the concept.

We will need the usual mix of route setters, instructors and receptionists, as well as yoga instructors, chefs and baristas. If you can fulfil any of these roles or if you feel you can bring something interesting and different to the team, we’d love to hear from you. Yonder is going to be an inspiring place; a melting pot of activity and creativity. Our staff are going to be integral in building and nurturing this community.

The main roles we’re trying to fill at this stage are Route setter manager, Chief instructor, Duty Managers and Centre manager.
