Spa success leads to job boost

THE SUCCESS of the North East’s award-winning, newest spa has led to the creation of more jobs.

The Spa at Ramside at Ramside Hall Hotel near Durham, is now recruiting six additional beauty therapists, because of the demand for treatments at the multi-million pound spa.

Since it opened in August last year the £8m spa has not only attracted a large number of members but has also proven highly popular with day guests.

“The response to the spa and the range of treatments we offer has been beyond expectations,” said Jill Russell, Spa Director.

“And to cope with the demand we are now going to employ six additional therapists.

“We already offer an extensive range of treatments and packages and we are continually adding to this list, which is why we have made the decision to create more jobs.”

The spa offers a range of facilities including five pools, a state-of-the-art gym, sleep sanctuary, thermal suite, beauty snug, Fusion Asian restaurant and a hairdressing salon.

It was also the first in the UK to offer the international Wellness For Cancer programme, where all spa staff have been trained to ensure that they offer treatment to those either battling the disease or in remission.
