Job Title: Sauna Attendant
Rate: $40/hour guaranteed (including tips), with potential earnings up to $360–$500 per 9-hour shift
Contract Type: Independent Contractor, On-Call
Location: Carp, Ontario
Company: Medical Spa – Hot Rock Spa
Job Type: Contractor (On-Call)
About Us
Hot Rock Spa is a well-established and fast-growing wellness business with consistently high client feedback. Located in a natural setting in Carp, Ontario, we offer traditional European steam room therapies, massage, and personalized treatments led by a professional, licensed osteopath. Our focus is on results, client care, and authentic therapeutic experiences.
Position Overview
This job is for people who are motivated by money and ready to work. It’s physically demanding. You’ll spend time in a hot, humid steam room, manage a wood-burning stove, clean bathrooms, sweep paths, maintain the pool, and assist guests. You’ll be lifting, sweating, working in the rain or snow, and staying focused throughout.
The working conditions are far from perfect: a small staff room, constant exposure to outdoor elements, and a steady pace of manual work. But in return, you’ll earn real cash—fast.
The Payment
For successful applicants, we guarantee $40/hour, including tips. Here’s how it breaks down:
• The base rate is $25/hour, plus your share of tips
• If tips are low, we top up your pay to $40/hour, so for a standard 3-hour shift, you are guaranteed at least $120
• If tips are higher (for example, $80 from a couple’s session), your total is:
$25 x 3h = $75, plus $80 tips = $155 total (approximately $50/hour)
• If two attendants are assigned to the same shift, tips are shared
• Spa preparation duties before the first session are paid a $50 flat rate
You may be offered 1 to 3 shifts per day, depending on your physical stamina and our booking volume. Each shift is 3 hours. If you complete 3 shifts plus spa prep, your earns at least $410, with potential to 500 per day.
However, don’t expect to work 20 days a month. Steam room work is physically demanding, and it’s not sustainable full-time. A realistic workload is around 6–8 working days per month, with 1 or 2 shifts per day if you’re strong and we’re busy.
If you’re fit, focused, and looking to earn good money on a limited schedule, this job pays off.
