Are you a talented Beauty Therapist ready for a new opportunity?
We're looking for an experienced Beauty Therapist to join our friendly, professional team, working evenings and weekends. This role is best suited to an experienced therapist who is confident working independently.
We're recruiting because we're busy. Evenings and weekends are our busiest times, and the therapist we hired most recently for those shifts was booked up within weeks of starting.

Client experience is at the heart of everything we do, which is reflected in our 1,146 five star Google reviews. Clients regularly praise our friendly team, welcoming atmosphere, cleanliness and high treatment standards.
Our salon includes:
- Three private treatment rooms
- Two pedicure areas
- A dedicated spray tan room
- Three nail bars
- Three Ergoline sun beds
We offer a wide range of treatments, including:
- Waxing
- Dermalogica skin treatments

Award-winning excellence
We've received multiple client experience awards and have been finalists for Best Customer Service at the National Entrepreneur Awards. In 2022, we were proudly named Best Business in Harlow.
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.
