Winner of the ’s Emerging Talent Initiative, named one of the Top 30 Best Places to Work, and proud recipient of Springboard’s Best Employer Award – Eden Hotel Collection is offering a once-in-a-career opportunity to join our prestigious Spa Therapist Academy.
We are seeking passionate, driven individuals ready to launch their careers within the elite world of boutique spa hospitality. Whether you are completing (or have completed) a Level 2 Beauty Therapy course, or have undertaken a Level 2 apprenticeship and are now ready to elevate your skills, this is a unique route into the luxury wellness industry.
A Truly Bespoke Apprenticeship Experience
This is not your typical apprenticeship. Our award-winning Spa Academy combines a Level 3 qualification in Beauty, Wellbeing & Holistic Therapy with hands-on training in some of the country’s finest hotel spas, in partnership with Cedars Health & Beauty Centre.
Here’s what sets us apart:
1. Earn while you learn – Full-time employment with real responsibility and progression.
2. Premium learning format – Monthly 3-day training blocks (not day release), delivered at our hotels or training centre in Gloucester (travel and accommodation provided).
3. Elite product training – Learn advanced treatments using world-class brands like TEMPLESPA and JESSICA, through exclusive Eden Masterclasses.
4. Early treatment delivery – You’ll begin delivering advanced treatments before completing your qualification – a rare and invaluable advantage.
From perfecting reception and guest experience to progressing through luxury facials, massage, and holistic body therapies, you'll graduate fully prepared to thrive in a five-star spa environment.
What We’re Looking For
To be considered for this opportunity, you will need:
1. A Level 2 qualification in Beauty Therapy (or close to completion).
2. Willingness to apply yourself to the Level 3 qualification and studies, working hard to make the most of this opportunity.
3. A passion to provide holistic and beauty therapies according to a five-star spa service standard.
4. Exceptional grooming standards.
5. A positive ‘can do’ attitude, good sense of humour, team spirit, and a genuine passion for the industry and for Elan Spas.
6. A genuine passion for the industry and for Elan Spas.
Your Journey with Us
Work a minimum of 30 hours per week (including training), starting during the summer months before beginning your apprenticeship in September 2025.
Our spa operations run Monday–Sunday; flexibility is essential, with most weekends off being fairly distributed within the team.
Join an academy with a proven track record – now welcoming our 6th intake of apprentices, many of whom have progressed to Level 4 and senior roles within the collection.
