Work in Wellness at the New Yora Nordic Spa

Something New Is Taking Shape
Opening in November 2026, Yora Nordic Spa is a place to pause, reconnect and experience wellbeing through nature, hydrotherapy and authentic human connection. It is a space where our team will create thoughtful and welcoming experiences that help guests reconnect with themselves, with others and with the natural world around them.

We are now building our founding team—the people who will bring Yora Nordic Spa to life and shape our culture from the very beginning. Working at Yora means working in wellness and contributing to a workplace and guest experience that are simple, inclusive, natural and social.

The Kitchen Attendant will be part of Yora’s founding Kitchen team, helping prepare the clean, organized and well-stocked environment that will support Yora Nordic Spa’s first guests in November 2026. This part-time role is anticipated to start at the end of October 2026.

• Respond promptly when cooks require clean equipment, cookware or operational support.
• Report equipment, maintenance, food-safety and workplace-safety concerns promptly.
• Support teammates during preparation and busy service periods.
• Participate fully in required training and coaching.

• No previous kitchen experience or formal culinary education is required.
• A willingness to learn basic food preparation and kitchen procedures.
• The ability to follow instructions, checklists and established procedures accurately.
• A strong commitment to cleanliness, organization and food safety.
• The ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced kitchen environment.
• Dependability and the ability to complete assigned responsibilities within required timelines.
• Appropriate food-safety certification or a willingness to obtain it within the required timeframe.
• The ability to safely use commercial dishwashing, sanitation and basic kitchen equipment following training.

This is a part-time, on-site position with shifts scheduled based on business and operational needs.

• Employee wellness privileges and discounted experiences at Yora Nordic Spa locations.
• Bistro and retail discounts.
• Learning, growth and development opportunities within a growing wellness brand.
• Paid sick leave in accordance with applicable law and company policy.

This is a physically active position performed in a fast-paced commercial kitchen. The role involves extended periods of standing and walking; frequent bending, reaching, twisting and crouching; repetitive hand and arm movements associated with dishwashing, cleaning and food preparation; pushing and pulling carts and equipment; and lifting and carrying routine cookware, dish racks, supplies, food products and waste containers.

Employees work around hot water, steam, hot surfaces, commercial dishwashing and kitchen equipment, refrigeration and freezer environments, cleaning and sanitation chemicals, food allergens, noise, waste materials and wet or slippery surfaces.
