Spa Massage Therapist

 £16.30 – £17.60 per hour (Junior, Intermediate & Senior Levels)
 Permanent | Full-time or Part-time | Benefits + Tips

We've recently increased our therapist pay rates — because we believe in valuing the people who bring care, creativity, and skill to every treatment.

Are you an intuitive therapist who blends skill with soul?
 Do you love bringing joy and ease to others through the power of touch?
 Are you ready to work somewhere that lets your creativity shine?
At RED Hotels, we do things differently.
Our award-winning spas at The Scarlet and Bedruthan are sanctuaries for both guests and therapists — where individuality is valued, and practitioners are empowered to shape meaningful, personalised treatments using a wide range of tools and techniques. The role is based across both spas, which are a short walk from each other along the stunning Cornish coastline. Each has its own rhythm and atmosphere, giving you variety, inspiration, and the chance to work in two truly unique wellness environments.
Whether you work with oil, stillness, pressure, or flow — if your treatments come from the heart and you're happiest when helping others feel good, we'd love to hear from you.
You don't need a long list of modalities. If you're a skilled, nurturing massage therapist who creates genuinely supportive experiences, you already belong here.What Makes a RED Spa Practitioner?

• You value connection, presence, and intuition above scripted routines
• You're genuinely interested in your guest's wellbeing journey
• You thrive when given the creative freedom to tailor every session
• You care for your own wellbeing and want to be part of a kind, connected team

We believe in prescriptive treatments, not protocols. Your knowledge, experience, and creativity matter here.
We also believe in helping you grow. Every month, you'll take part in Toolbox Training — a space to explore new techniques, refresh old ones, and keep your treatments alive. Our approach is deeply therapeutic, and we support our team to deliver work that stays fresh, embodied, and real.
We also believe it's essential that you receive what you give — which is why we provide regular team treatments. Experiencing our therapies first-hand helps you stay connected, inspired, and well.
We use Ayurveda as a lens to understand our guests and guide our work. If you're new to it, don't worry — we'll teach you. And if you already love Ayurveda, you'll feel right at home. It's how we understand people, energy, and the world around us.Who We're Looking For

• A thoughtful communicator and attentive listener
• Someone curious, emotionally intelligent, and comfortable adapting to each guest
• A practitioner who values continuous learning and growth
• A holistic thinker aligned with our values of sustainability and collaboration

We welcome practitioners with:

• A qualification in massage, holistic therapy, or NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent)
• Experience or interest in traditional wellness practices (Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine, Herbalism, etc.)
• Optional but welcome: yoga, breath work, or movement-based training
• If you're currently working in a more routine-led spa and feel ready to grow into a therapist who can design and deliver personalised treatments, we'd love to support that journey.

What's in it for you?

• Hourly pay from £16.30–£17.60, depending on experience
• A share of hotel-wide tips
• Permanent contract with 28 days' holiday (rising to 29 after one year)
• Contracted hours from 16 to 33 hours per week (including weekends)
• Work across two inspiring spas, just minutes apart on foot
• Beautiful, sustainable spa settings that feel like home
• Supportive, people-first culture where wellbeing matters
• Monthly Toolbox Training & ongoing professional development
• Regular team treatments — because your wellbeing matters too
• Long service rewards (like a free hotel stay after one year)
• Generous team discounts (up to 50% while on shift)
• Health Shield Healthcare Plan
• Temporary team accommodation may be available

We also offer 15-minute Discovery Visits so you can experience our spaces and see if we're the right fit for you.
 To book a Discovery Visit, simply apply and mention it in your covering letter.
