About the Role
MASAJ is London’s leading massage and Bodywork company.
Designed as a sanctuary for Londoners looking to combat the negative effects of city living, we’ve been bringing our own brand of bodywork to the city’s wellbeing scene since 2016, all while focussing on creating an inclusive, supportive environment for our community, and committing to sustainable, values-driven business practices across the board.
We have an exciting opportunity for Cover Host Team Members to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for supporting our team of Studio Therapists and community of customers, ensuring the smooth day-to-day running of our Studios. This is a great opportunity for those interested in providing extraordinary client care, gaining experience in the wellbeing sector, and those who thrive in a busy and evolving startup environment.
Our company motto is ‘Come As You Are’ - a nod to our mission to continue to develop an inclusive and welcoming environment for all. We support an incredibly diverse workforce and an inclusive workplace, and warmly welcome applications from different backgrounds.
This role is an ad-hoc position, supporting coverage for our Studio Hosts & Senior Hosts, with shifts available at MASAJ’s central London locations.
We are prioritising candidates who are most available and keen to primarily pick up shifts at our Marylebone location, however they will also have opportunities to pick up shifts at our Islington and Shoreditch studios.
Applicants who are unable to offer weekend and evening availability will unfortunately not be considered.
