Be Part of Something New on Chicago’s North Shore

Woodhouse Spa is a high-end luxury day spa national brand with more than 100 locations across the country — and we’re bringing it to the North Shore for the first time. As one of our founding Massage Therapists, you’ll help set the standard for what “Woodhouse Highland Park” means: brand-new treatment rooms, brand-new equipment, and a guest following you help build from day one.

• The owners: work in the spa day to day as true partners, not a distant corporate office.
• Established national brand: you get its marketing muscle, training systems, protocols, and reputation — the things that keep your table full.

• Guide guests through the service menu and help them choose the treatments that meet their true needs
• Obtain a detailed guest health history and maintain strict confidentiality
• Use body mechanics that protect your wrists, hands, and body as well as the guest’s — we’re building long careers here, not short ones
• Ensure guests have a consistent, phenomenal, high-touch concierge experience from greeting to rebooking

Keep the Space Guest-Ready

• Keep treatment rooms and service areas clean and sanitized using approved products and procedures
• Maintain proper inventory and stock in treatment rooms
• Remove soiled laundry and assist with laundry
• Assist with opening and closing duties

Be Part of the Founding Team

• Be a steward of the Woodhouse brand and Woodhouse standards
• Cross-train and perform Team Member services as part of ongoing education
• Welcome training on new procedures and protocols as the menu grows
• Work well with fellow Team Members and managers, and set the tone for the therapists who follow you

What We’re Looking For
