• At least 1 year of teaching experience, ideally in hospitality, tourism or a retreat setting
• Confidence adapting sessions for mixed abilities, including complete beginners
• Warm, clear communication and a natural ease with guests
• Flexibility to work varied hours, including weekends and public holidays

Advantageous

• A massage therapy qualification and experience (facials also a bonus)
