Job description

Accor is hiring a part-time Spa Therapist for Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour in Sydney, Australia. The role performs facials, body therapies, aromatherapy, deep tissue massages, and signature spa offerings. The position is permanent and requires a diploma-level qualification in a relevant field. Luxury spa or wellness experience, unrestricted Australian working rights, and availability for at least one weekend day are required. The therapist works with spa practitioners, receptionists, and hotel colleagues. The role follows a rotating roster that includes weekends and public holidays.

The Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour spa therapist position combines treatment delivery with guest consultation and tailored recommendations. Personal presentation, flexibility, reliability, and attention to detail are part of the role. The hotel has 590 rooms and suites, four bars and restaurants, an infinity pool, a fitness centre, an Executive Lounge, and a luxury spa. Accor's leisure and spa division includes treatment, management, fitness, and recreation roles.

• Role: Spa Therapist
• Location: Sydney, Australia
• Employment type: Permanent, part-time
• Core work: Facials, body therapies, aromatherapy, deep tissue massage, and signature spa offerings
• Working pattern: Rotating roster with weekends and public holidays

The role is filed with spa therapist positions because the work combines hands-on treatment with hotel wellness operations. Guest-facing spa services require careful consultation, treatment knowledge, and clear recommendations.

An applicant for the position has the relevant diploma, unrestricted Australian working rights, and availability for a rotating roster. The recruitment process also allows reasonable adjustments for candidates who need them.

Treatments Across The Sofitel Spa

The therapist performs facials, body therapies, aromatherapy, deep tissue massages, and signature treatments. Each service requires knowledge of the treatment sequence, product use, contraindications, sanitation, and guest comfort. Consultation establishes the guest's preferences and helps the therapist make an informed recommendation.

Deep tissue work requires controlled pressure and clear communication during the treatment. Aromatherapy and body therapies add product knowledge to the hands-on service. The role also includes expanding knowledge of wellness journeys and promotions so recommendations remain accurate.

Qualifications And The Rotating Roster

A diploma-level qualification in a relevant field is required. Previous experience in a luxury spa or wellness environment supports the treatment standards expected at the property. The role also calls for a warm, engaging, collaborative, professional, and well-presented manner.

At least one weekend day forms part of the availability requirement. The rotating roster includes weekends and public holidays, so the position requires schedule flexibility across hotel operating periods. Sydney spa roles also involve reliable attendance during busy guest service windows.

Guest Care And Hotel Collaboration

Guest rapport is part of each treatment. The therapist assesses needs, explains suitable options, and provides recommendations connected to the guest's wellness goals. Safety standards apply to the guest, the therapist, and every colleague involved in the service.

The therapist collaborates with practitioners, receptionists, and hotel colleagues. That work connects treatment delivery with reception coordination, guest communication, and the wider hotel experience. Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour combines French Art de Vivre with its waterfront setting and operates a large accommodation and dining property.

Development Within Accor

Accor provides an internal learning platform and the Accor Academy development program. The program supports career development through structured learning and role-based knowledge. The employer's leisure and spa roles include therapists, managers, lifeguards, fitness instructors, and gym attendants, so spa work can connect with several operational disciplines.

Dining privileges, accommodation discounts, lifestyle experiences, and preferred-rate coffee form part of the rewards described for Sofitel ambassadors. A therapist also works within a team culture that values inclusion, collaboration, craftsmanship, and professional growth. Current spa jobs often differ in treatment mix, roster, and qualification requirements.

The position requires full Australian working rights without restriction. A candidate who needs workplace adjustments can request reasonable support during recruitment. Those conditions are settled before the role begins because the position operates within Australian employment and hotel service requirements.

Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour assigns the therapist to a waterfront hotel with a dedicated luxury spa, a broad guest operation, and several internal teams. The role therefore combines hands-on treatments with the communication, safety, and presentation standards of a major hospitality property. The official Accor role details are available through the Accor Academy and leisure careers information.
