Job description

Hello York

Now recruiting for a Spa Therapist at the Spa at No.1 York.

Do you have healing hands and a passion for pampering? Can you deliver tranquillity with a smile and a perfectly folded towel? If so, we’d love to welcome you to our wellness dream team.

Here at the Spa at No.1 York, we’re a small but stylish, family-run boutique hotel, and we’re looking for a Spa Therapist who’s equal parts skilled, serene, and sensational at making guests feel like royalty (or at least like they’ve stepped out of a medieval spa retreat).

While we welcome all applications, please note that this role is dedicated to wellness treatments rather than beauty treatments.

Please note this role is for 32 hours per week - including weekends.

What you’ll be doing:

• Delivering a range of treatments—from massages to facials with expert care and a calming touch.
• Creating a peaceful, welcoming environment that guests never want to leave.
• Advising guests on treatments, products, and post-spa bliss.
• Maintaining high standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and serenity.
• Working closely with the spa and hotel teams to ensure a seamless guest experience.

What we’re looking for:

• Recognised qualifications in massage therapy (Level 3 or equivalent).
• Previous experience in a spa or wellness setting.
• A warm, professional manner and a genuine love for guest care.
• A sense of humour and a love for York’s rich heritage—from Roman baths to Viking saunas (probably).
• Reliability, discretion, and a passion for wellness.

If your aspiration is to work for a company that understands you and trusts your instincts when it comes to hospitality and you’ve been looking for this kind of role for a while. Guess what, we’ve been looking for you too!

What’s in it for you!

• Work in a stylish, intimate hotel that feels more like a home than a group of hotels.
• Be part of a small, close-knit team where your ideas matter.
• Competitive pay, and plenty of guest-powered stories.
• An extra holiday day for your birthday.
• All breaks are paid.
• No conveyer belt style treatments here, you’ll get a break between each treatment to relax and set up for your next guest.
• Our team have their own team room - with their own pantry full of food, to use whenever they like. Grab a snack! Plus, get a free meal on shift.
• You can stay/dine with your family and friends in any of our hotels/restaurants/spas at a great discount.
• The satisfaction of turning a city break into a cherished memory.

Ready to bring calm, care, and a touch of luxury to every guest? Apply now and let’s make hospitality history—one blissful treatment at a time.
