Job description

The Role

You will provide professional massage treatments to clients at our West Hampstead spa, adapting each treatment to the client’s individual needs and preferences. Deep Tissue Massage is the key capability we are looking for, so candidates should be confident delivering effective deep tissue treatments and working with clients who may require targeted attention to areas of muscular tension. Depending on your experience, there may also be opportunities to provide additional treatments.

What We’re Looking For

Essential:

• Qualified Massage Therapist with a recognised massage qualification.
• Strong experience and confidence in Deep Tissue Massage.
• Ability to adapt pressure, technique and treatment approach to individual clients.
• Good understanding of massage contraindications and client safety.
• Professional, reliable and punctual.
• Excellent communication and customer service skills.
• Able to maintain high standards of hygiene and treatment-room presentation.
• Eligible to work on a self-employed/freelance basis in the UK.
• Appropriate professional insurance.

Desirable / Good to Have:

• Hot Stone Massage experience or qualification.

• Ability to work evenings and/or weekends.

• Newly refurbished, professional treatment environment.
• Bookings and client acquisition supported by the spa.
• Friendly and supportive working environment.
• Opportunity to build a regular client base.
• Potential for increased hours as demand grows.

Who Would Suit This Role?

This position would suit an experienced therapist who takes pride in delivering genuinely high-quality massage treatments and enjoys building relationships with repeat clients. We’re particularly interested in therapists who can confidently deliver a strong, technically skilled Deep Tissue Massage, rather than simply applying heavier pressure. If you are passionate about massage and wellbeing and would like to work with an established independent spa in West Hampstead, we’d love to hear from you.
