We’re hiring! Front Desk Crew (SLO)
Are you someone that looks someone in the eyes and wonders what their wildest dreams are?
Do you find out and then want to help them achieve that?
Then we want you.
We’re a rock climbing gym looking for front desk staff, but what we really want are people who recognize that stepping into our communities has the power to change lives. Crew do not need to be peppy and upbeat 100% of the day, but they should exude a sense of warmth and be comfortable engaging diverse populations both at the front desk and on the floor. You will be the face of our gyms and be working in a team-centered, dynamic environment.
Experience in climbing isn’t a requirement but it is highly recommended, and above all else you need to have a strong desire to be part of The Pad community. Upon hire, crew will be required to learn climbing technique, belay basics, and how to instruct a class. We don’t care how hard you climb, but you should have enough experience to speak the lingo, make safety calls (or know who to defer to) and feel confident in training belay certification. Experience climbing outside is a major plus – we’re a gym run by people who climb outside and we like the culture that brings.

To build immersive experiences, spaces, and opportunities through climbing, community, fitness, and love
