What employers look forFrom the Spa Therapist guide
Captains and chief stews want qualified therapists with land-based experience, ideally from a five-star hotel spa, a destination spa or a cruise ship. A Level 3 qualification or a CIDESCO diploma is the baseline, and massage is the core skill. Range matters. Someone who can do deep tissue, Thai, facials and gel nails covers far more guest requests than someone who only does massage. Discretion counts as much as technique. You spend hours alone in a room with principals and their families, and what you hear stays there.

QuestionsSee what a Spa Therapist earns
What tickets should a Spa Therapist CV list?
List STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 medical certificate and Level 3 beauty or massage qualification (VTCT, ITEC, CIBTAC) or CIDESCO diploma first, each with the date it was issued. Then add PDSD and GUEST interior course if you hold them.
How long should a Spa Therapist CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
