We’re Hiring: Sauna Host at Sauna Ostara (Nairn Beach)

We’re on the lookout for a Sauna Host to join our team at Sauna Ostara on Nairn Beach. This is a part-time, self-employed role — perfect for someone local who enjoys working outdoors, engaging with people, and creating meaningful wellbeing experiences. We are looking for someone to join us from December.

The Role

We’re seeking a reliable, friendly, and hands-on person to help manage Sauna Ostara on a part-time, self-employed basis. Initially, shifts will be Friday to Sunday, shared between a small and friendly team, with the potential to expand as demand grows.

This is a unique and active role. It involves early starts, long outdoor days, and weekend work, whatever the weather. Each sauna day typically runs for 8–12 hours, depending on the season — so it’s not for everyone.

That said, you’ll be based on beautiful Nairn Beach, meet lovely people, and help create experiences that support wellbeing and connection to the natural world. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Open and prepare the sauna; light and tend the wood-burning stove

  • Transport heavy water containers

  • Welcome guests, provide a brief health & safety introduction, and manage session changeovers

  • Maintain sauna temperature and safety throughout the day

  • Keep the sauna and surrounding area tidy and inviting

  • Respond to customer messages and assist passers-by with information

  • Clean and close down the sauna securely at the end of the day

Skills & Qualities

Essential:

  • Based locally

  • Able to work weekends, flexible hours, and long outdoor days

  • Independent, reliable, punctual, and organised

  • Friendly and comfortable engaging with people

  • Physically fit (able to carry water and clean the sauna)

  • Confident working with a wood-burning stove

  • Interested in sauna culture, wellbeing, and nature connection

Desirable:

  • First Aid qualification

  • Knowledge of sauna health and wellbeing benefits

  • Social media savvy

Pay & Perks

  • £15 / hour on a self-employed basis

  • Complimentary weekly private sauna session

  • Personal discount code for friends and family bookings

  • A chance to work in a beautiful beach environment and contribute to a growing wellbeing community
