Spa Associate

Description

The Skin Body and Wellness Clinic is a boutique spa in Plainfield, Indiana offering facials, massage, and infrared sauna sessions. We’re known for a personal, cozy experience where clients are remembered as people and only get recommendations for what they actually need.

We’re looking for a motivated, organized intern to work directly alongside the owner as a right hand in the business. This is a hands-on role where you’ll see how a small wellness business actually runs, from marketing campaigns and social media to client experience, daily operations, and local networking. You’ll help plan and create real content, support growth projects, and represent the clinic in the community. If you’re interested in marketing, business, entrepreneurship, or the beauty and wellness industry, this internship gives you real responsibility and real results you can put in your portfolio.

This is a paid, part-time internship. Schedule is flexible within our business hours (Tuesday through Sunday).
