ABOUT GLENEAGLES
One of the world’s most iconic luxury hotels and country retreats, Gleneagles has been making memories for a century. Crowned ‘Employer of the Year’ at the 2024 Cateys and Number One Resort in the UK & Ireland by readers of the Travel + Leisure for their 2025 World’s Best Awards, everything we do is about surpassing expectations and creating unrivalled adventures for our guests.
WORKING AT GLENEAGLES
We’re devoted to making our people feel as valued as our guests. In this way, we strive to support the whole ‘you’ – not just the professional part but the personal part too. People join our team for all sorts of reasons. Some work here permanently to develop a career, some work seasonally, while others have a schedule to fit around their personal commitments. However long you plan to stay with us and whatever hours you’d prefer to work, we’re open to flexible working requests and offer hours, shift patterns, and contract types to suit everyone.
Location: Auchterarder, just off the A9. Gleneagles is also within easy reach of a number of Scottish towns and cities: Edinburgh City Centre (1hr), Glasgow or Dundee (50mins), Stirling and Perth (25mins).
Here's a bit more detail on what we see you doing in this role:
- Taking ownership of the spa guest journey, making sure every interaction feels seamless, thoughtful, and personal; from the first enquiry and booking, through arrival, consultation, and treatment, to time spent in our facilities, departure, and aftercare
- Helping to lead the day-to-day operation of the Spa to ensure every area is beautifully presented, the team are well briefed and supported, and our standards never slip
- Being a visible, hands-on leader within the Spa, supporting the team with rotas, performance, and quality standards, and leading by example when it comes to service, professionalism, and attention to detail
- Building a team who are proud of what they do, taking the time to coach, develop, and motivate our therapists and spa colleagues, identifying opportunities for progression, and sharing your own knowledge and expertise
- Championing exceptional treatment standards, ensuring consultations, treatment protocols, product knowledge, therapist standards, and aftercare are consistently delivered. You'll also play an active role in reviewing and developing our treatments, protocols, and guest experience
- Getting to know our guests and members, recognising their individual preferences, and anticipating what they might need before they have to ask. Listening carefully to feedback, resolving concerns with care, and making sure every guest leaves feeling genuinely looked after
- Keeping a close eye on what's happening across the world of luxury spa, wellness, beauty, and hospitality, bringing fresh ideas and identifying opportunities for new treatments, experiences, products, and ways of working that keep our Spa moving forward
- Supporting your Spa Manager with budgets, stock, and cost control, keeping a close eye on treatment products, retail stock, and operational costs while making sure the Spa continues to deliver an exceptional experience
- Helping the team make the most of every guest interaction, confidently recommending treatments and products where appropriate, and using your understanding of each guest to create genuine opportunities to drive treatment and retail revenue
- Using guest feedback, team insight, and operational and commercial performance to spot opportunities, solve problems, and continually raise the standards of the Spa
- Taking responsibility for making sure health, safety, hygiene, and operational procedures are followed, creating a safe, immaculate, and beautifully presented environment for our guests, members, and colleagues
- Interacting with our guests, always warm, professional, helpful, and doing everything you can to exceed their expectations; playing your part in making their stay with us luxurious in every way
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- With a strong therapy background, you have a genuine passion for developing others; qualifications in Education and Training or Train the Trainer would be an added advantage
- Comfortable leading a large and busy team, you'll remain close enough to the operation to notice the small details and step in wherever you’re needed
- You understand that a great spa experience starts long before a guest walks through the door. You know how every interaction — from booking and arrival to treatment, departure, and aftercare — contributes to how a guest feels about their time with us.
- A natural coach who enjoys helping people grow; you know how to bring out the best in different personalities, build confidence, and create a team that feels supported, motivated, and proud of what they do
- You have a good understanding of P&L management and the commercial side of running a Spa, with the confidence to balance revenue and cost with the experience we want every guest to have
- Highly motivated and possessing an immense sense of pride in your work; you're passionate about delivering the high standards for our guests in line with the Gleneagles brand
- You have a positive “can do” attitude to solving problems in a professional and courteous manner
