Job Overview
As a LUSH Spa Therapist, you'll be responsible for delivering our range of unique and therapeutic spa treatments to our customers. You'll create a calming and welcoming atmosphere, ensuring each client feels pampered and rejuvenated. You'll also play a key role in promoting the spa and its offerings, acting as a brand ambassador for LUSH.
Who we are
At LUSH cosmetics, we believe in making effective products from fresh, organic fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils, and safe synthetics. We aim to leave the world Lusher than we found it; and at the LUSH Spa, we’re passionate about improving your sense of well-being, so you can feel your best self. We believe our spa treatments are more than skin deep; they’re a vital self-care ingredient.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
