Job Description
Please read the full description, and how to apply for your application to be considered.
We work with people who are dealing with pain, restriction, and tension that’s affecting how they move and live day to day. Some train regularly, some sit at a desk for hours, some are on their feet all day. Our focus is simple: help people feel and move better.
We’re looking for a freelance/self employed Sports Massage Therapist who takes a thoughtful, hands-on approach to treatment and is confident working with a wide range of clients, not just athletes.
Our clinic is well established in the area, with a strong existing client base, so we’re looking for someone like minded to become part of the team. We work with our clients to build relationships that mean they get a well rounded, holistic approach that they can trust.
What you’ll be doing
- Delivering tailored sports massage and soft tissue treatments based on individual client needs
- Assessing movement, identifying areas of tension or restriction, and adapting treatment accordingly
- Supporting clients with ongoing issues, not just one-off appointments
- Building trust with clients so they feel comfortable, understood, and supported
- Keeping clear, accurate treatment notes
- Supporting the growth of your diary
What we’re looking for
- Level 4 Sports Massage qualification minimum, or qualified Sports Therapist
- Registered with a recognised body such as Massage Training Institute or BASRaT
- Strong understanding of the mind-body connection, as well as anatomy and soft tissue work
- Confidence working with a mix of clients, including non-sporting backgrounds
- Good communication skills and a calm, professional manner
- Someone who is reliable, proactive, and wants to keep improving their skills
- Minimum 8 hours per week availability spread over Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - afternoons and evenings. (alternating Saturdays available to work in addition if desired)
What it’s like to work with us
We don’t rush treatments or take a one size fits all approach. Sessions are built around what the client needs on the day, with time to assess, treat, and explain what’s going on.
You’ll be working in a clinic that values quality of treatment and long-term client outcomes over quick turnover. There’s also room to bring your own style into your work, as long as it’s grounded in good clinical reasoning.
Why join Elbow
- Established client base with consistent demand
- Flexibility around working hours
- Opportunity to develop your skills and build long-term client relationships
