HEAD CHEF

Vetta Nordic Spa is a tranquil, hydrotherapy paradise located in beautiful Horseshoe Valley surrounded by a mature forest.

Vetta Nordic Spa is on a mission to help people reach pure relaxation.

You know... that feeling that makes you go aaahhhh.

It's a universally understood and desired feeling, yet not felt often enough.

Let's change that.

We are currently building the heart and soul of our business (our team) and are on the hunt for hospitality-driven, team-oriented, positive people who enjoy making a difference in a person's day. We believe that our guests deserve nothing but the best and we can help them to achieve ultimate relaxation during their visit - with your help of course!

Our team will be responsible for making sure our guests leave Vetta uplifted, nourished, and recharged, ready to face their daily routine with renewed energy and spirit.

If you get excited at the thought of working in this environment and you value the importance of physical and emotional health and well-being, we'd love to hear from you!

Vetta Nordic Spa has adopted a Hospitality Included model.

What does this mean? This means we have a team environment where we all work together, and we don't require our customers to pay an extra tip for excellent hospitality.

Instead, we offer consistent yet flexible hours, a higher-than-average hourly wage, benefits, and a place you will want to call your second home.

WHO YOU ARE

You are a down to earth, friendly, and welcoming hospitality professional. You are gracious, accommodating, respectful and eager to help our guests and other team members provide an exceptional customer experience that our Vetta guests will rave about.
