Sauna Attendant. Job Description

About the Role: Three Groups of Tasks

As a Sauna Attendant, your responsibilities are divided into three main categories. While it’s not mandatory to perform all three, being able to handle multiple tasks increases your opportunities for shifts, hours, and earnings. Here’s a breakdown of the tasks:

1. Site Preparation Tasks

These tasks are essential to creating a welcoming and well-organized environment for our guests:

• Preparing spa facilities by ensuring all supplies and equipment are ready.

• Starting and maintaining the wood-burning stove; preheating the steam room to the required temperature.

• Cleaning and sanitizing bathrooms, wet areas, and grooming rooms.

• Assisting with laundry duties (washing and distributing linens).

Optionality: These tasks are a great starting point for candidates who prefer behind-the-scenes roles.

 

2. Steam Room Operations

This is the heart of the role, directly involving guest interactions:

• Assisting the Sauna Master during steam room treatments.

• Guiding guests to changing areas and assigning lockers.

• Ensuring the safety and comfort of guests during their sessions.

• After training, providing contactless services such as air wrapping and aromatherapy.

3. After-Sauna Massage Tasks

• Performing massages after sauna sessions, based on your training and expertise.

• Optionally, offering additional wellness services that align with your skills .

Job Benefits.

• Training Provided: Comprehensive training is available for all tasks, including spa services, steam room operations, and massage techniques.

• Flexible Part-Time Scheduling: Adjust shifts to suit your availability and preferences.

• Competitive Earnings: Earn a minimum of $75 for a 3-hour session, with median earnings of $200–$300 per 8-hour shift, including tips, by performing sauna preparation and two massage sessions.

• Emotional Fulfillment:

• Our job is about happiness. Read our guest reviews to see the joy we bring to their lives.

• Positive emotional connections with our guests are at the heart of what we do—they repay us with love, gratitude, and tips, but the emotional reward is even more valuable.

Disadvantages

1. Unpredictable Job Load:

• While we strive to provide consistent work, we cannot guarantee a stable workload.

• For the 2025 season, our goal is to offer at least 4 shifts per month (approximately $600) to new associates who can perform all three task categories.

2. Physically Demanding Work Environment:

• This is literally a hot job—working in and out of a wet, hot steam room can be uncomfortable, especially during the winter when transitioning between the cold outdoors and the steamy indoor environment.

3. Limited Personnel Facilities:

• Currently, we have a small and somewhat messy room for staff use, which serves as a space to rest (rarely), change clothes, and store personal items. We are actively working to improve these conditions, but for now, this is the reality.

Dress Code

We often receive questions about the dress code, and the answer is simple—there is no special uniform. Your attire should be comfortable and suited to the seasonal conditions.

Working in a wet and hot environment does have its nuances, but ultimately, it’s up to you to decide what works best for your comfort. Here are our recommendations to help guide your choices:

• Winter Attire:

• Long sport pants and a T-shirt are ideal.

• It’s a good idea to bring a set of dry clothes to change into for your comfort.

• Summer Attire:

• Ladies: A swimsuit with a pareo or T-shirt.

• Men: Swimming trunks and a T-shirt.

General Guidelines:

• Clothing should be comfortable and allow for easy movement.

• Attire should be modest (not overly revealing) and suitable for a professional yet relaxed spa environment.

Being prepared with seasonal clothing and extra dry outfits will help ensure your comfort during shifts.
