47.5 Part-Time

East Bank Club's Spa Massage Therapist role is a part-time position in Chicago, Illinois . The work pays $7.00 per hour plus gratuity, with 35% commission on spa services and 10% commission on spa products sold. Typical service volume produces estimated earnings of $45 to $50 per hour. Part-time and full-time opportunities are available, and weekend availability is required. The position includes massage services , client consultations, cleanliness duties, training, and support for the spa management team.

The role requires an active massage therapy license and authorization to work in the United States. Luxury spa experience, deep tissue skills, schedule flexibility, and the ability to work under pressure are part of the hiring profile. The position also requires physical work that includes lifting up to 25 pounds, reaching above shoulder level, and repeated use of the hands, wrists, and arms.

• Role: Spa Massage Therapist
• Employer: East Bank Club
• Employment: Part-time, with full-time opportunities also available
• Pay: $7.00 per hour plus gratuity and commissions

Applicants prepare a current massage therapy license, work authorization details, and a resume that explains customized massage experience. Weekend availability and the preferred work schedule are settled during the application process.

The Spa Massage Therapist role requires a service routine that starts before hands-on treatment. Each appointment begins with a client greeting, beverage service, consultation, comfort check, and discussion of treatment preferences. The therapist adjusts the session to the client's stated concerns and declines a service when the requested treatment is not appropriate.

Customized bodywork includes deep tissue massage and other techniques selected after the consultation. Licensed massage therapists track time during each appointment, protect client comfort, and discuss concerns before treatment begins. Client care continues through the end of the session, when the therapist confirms that the service matched the agreed treatment plan.

• Greeting clients and serving beverages
• Conducting consultations and confirming comfort levels
• Delivering customized massage services
• Discussing treatment concerns and preferences
• Refusing services when a requested treatment is unsuitable

Clean hands, tools, and equipment remain part of each service. The therapist sanitizes the work area between appointments and keeps the treatment environment ready for the next client. These duties run alongside the client-facing work.

The spa team also supports the Spa Manager, Spa Director, and other staff members. A therapist can be asked to attend scheduled training sessions and meetings, so the position includes continuing instruction beyond individual appointments. Those meetings connect treatment standards with the wider club operation.

The physical requirements affect how a therapist plans a working day. The position calls for finger, hand, wrist, and arm movements during treatments, plus the ability to reach above shoulder level and work in crouched or kneeling positions. A 25-pound lifting requirement applies to the role.

East Bank Club is a drug-free and smoke-free workplace that uses E-Verify for employment authorization. The employer identifies the position as part of a workplace with equal employment opportunity practices. Candidates who need a license or work-authorization review settle those points before the first scheduled shift.

Compensation combines a base hourly rate with gratuity and service-based commissions. Product sales carry a separate commission rate, while estimated earnings depend on the usual volume of spa services. That structure makes the treatment mix and appointment flow part of the pay discussion.

Employee programs include paid time off, a 401(k) match of up to 3%, value sharing, a holiday bonus, paid parental leave, health, vision, and dental insurance, and health savings account options. Other listed programs include disability coverage, life insurance, employee assistance, tuition reimbursement, parking and transit benefits, and employee discounts.

The client arrival-to-treatment sequence starts with a greeting, beverage service, consultation, and comfort check. The therapist confirms the requested service and records treatment preferences before beginning the massage. That sequence keeps the treatment plan connected to the client's stated needs.

The spa team works with other spa professionals while sharing cleanliness standards, appointment expectations, and client-care procedures. Training and staff meetings keep those procedures consistent across scheduled treatments.
