About the role
We are seeking a highly skilled and professional Level 2 Spa Therapist to join our team at an exciting stage, supporting the launch of a brand-new luxurious spa environment. This is a unique opportunity to be part of creating an exceptional guest experience from the very beginning.
The role involves delivering a range of high-quality treatments, ensuring outstanding service standards, and contributing to the development of a premium spa offering. You will play a key role in bringing the spa to life, creating a relaxing, welcoming, and memorable experience for all guests while upholding the highest levels of professionalism, care, and attention to detail.
Set lakeside and designed to feel a world away, our exclusive alfresco Wild Spa offers therapists a truly special place to practise. Four beautifully designed treatment cabins sit right on the water’s edge, with a unique lakeside relaxation tipi where guests slow down, breathe and restore balance. Alongside a thermal journey featuring sauna and cold plunge, a 25-metre outdoor pool, and our 150-cover lakeside restaurant, it’s a setting that elevates every treatment and creates a calm, nature-led guest experience. Phase 1 (July 2026) launches with a stunning core treatment menu, with Phase 2 introducing signature Rituals in England—creating exciting opportunities to grow your skills and be part of something new from the very beginning.
This role is working a minimum of 16 hours per week, 2 days over 7 days as per a rota, between the hours of 08am and 8pm, with scope for additional hours during high seasons.
Please note that ESPA training is scheduled to commence from 22nd June for a two-week period, and therefore candidates will be required to be available to start from 22nd June to take part in this essential training programme.
