The Rise of Spa Residencies: A New Way to Work in Wellness

The residency model is gaining serious traction in luxury wellness. Properties like Chewton Glen, Lucknam Park, and Scottish highland estates now offer structured seasonal placements lasting 3 to 6 months. For therapists, residencies offer immersive experience with a single brand, often with accommodation included. For properties, they solve the seasonal staffing gap without permanent headcount. WHC Concierge is building the first dedicated residency marketplace for the UK wellness sector. Expect to see residencies become a standard career stepping stone, particularly for therapists between permanent roles or looking to experience different property styles.
