Virgin Active South Africa is looking for qualified Sports Massage Therapists to offer recovery and performance treatments to its members in Bellville. This permanent role suits an independent, qualified therapist who can manage their own schedule and clients within a leading fitness brand.
About the company and the work
Virgin Active is one of South Africa’s best-known health club groups, and this vacancy sits within its wellness offering at a Bellville club. The therapists will operate independently, managing their own schedules and clients while aligning with the Virgin Active wellness brand and standards. The role includes an in-club treatment space and access to a member referral network, collaboration with personal trainers and wellness professionals, and participation in Virgin Active recovery activations and education events.
Role details and duties
The key responsibilities are:
- Deliver sports, deep tissue, and recovery massage services.
- Support athletic recovery, injury prevention, and general well-being.
- Manage appointment booking, payment collection, and client follow-up.
- Maintain hygiene and professionalism in all treatment areas.
- Engage in ongoing training and comply with safety, ethical, and health protocols.
Requirements
Only the requirements stated in the original advert are listed here:
- Accredited Sports Massage Therapy qualification (minimum 120+ hour course — preferably REPSA).
- Registered with a recognized South African massage or complementary therapy association (for example, AHPSA).
- Valid First Aid Level 1 with CPR certification.
- Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance.
The advert also notes that the following are a bonus, not requirements: experience working with athletes or in fitness environments, and additional certifications such as myofascial release, cupping or lymphatic drainage. The advert states a market-related salary and a closing date of 8 November 2026.
Where to find and apply safely
The original vacancy is listed on Careers24, and the Apply button on this page links directly to that original advert. Always apply through the original listing, and be cautious of anyone who asks you for money in exchange for a job, an interview or a placement. A genuine employer will never charge you a fee to apply.
Practical tips
Before you apply, make sure your CV and application clearly show your accredited qualification, your association registration, your First Aid Level 1 with CPR certification and your insurance cover, since these are the stated requirements. If you have worked with athletes or hold extra certifications such as myofascial release, cupping or lymphatic drainage, mention them — the advert lists these as a bonus. Double-check that your contact details are up to date so the recruiter can reach you easily.
