Beauty Therapy

Join Our Wellbeing Team at Marie Curie Hospice, Glasgow. Use your time and talents to bring comfort, care, and connection to those who need it.
Description for Internal Candidates

We’re looking for qualified beauty therapists to join our hospice team. If you have a gentle touch, a kind heart, and a passion for wellbeing, this is your chance to offer more than just treatments - you’ll be offering moments of peace, dignity, and connection.

Availability: Any weekday, (Monday to Friday) for a few hours each week or month, depending on flexibility


How you can make a difference:
• Provide soothing facials, hand care, skin care, manicures, or pedicures to help patients feel relaxed and cared for.
• Work closely with staff to identify patients who would benefit from your treatments.
• Offer friendly conversation and a calming presence - sometimes a chat is just as healing as a massage.


What you’d be doing:
• Keep the treatment area welcoming, clean, and serene
• Coordinate follow-up sessions with Day Services staff
• Support with other wellbeing-related tasks where possible


Why it matters:
At our hospices, we believe in holistic care supporting not just physical needs, but emotional wellbeing too. Your time and attention can bring joy, comfort, and a sense of normality to someone facing the toughest of journeys.


What you gain:
• Encouragement and support every step of the way
• Genuine appreciation for your time
• Travel and expenses reimbursed monthly
• Access to exclusive discounts on retail, travel, entertainment, and more
• Peer Support sessions
• Loyalty Card Membership for our Charity Shops
• Opportunities to refine skills and make a lasting difference


Ready to make a difference with your skills and compassion? Join us and help create moments of calm and kindness that truly matter.
