Licensed Acupuncturist
The Pearl Day Spa Licensed Acupuncturist Job Description
Our Company
We’re a local growth-minded day spa that has served the greater Eugene community for over 20 years. In the chaos of modern life, we believe everyone needs someone in their corner for support. Managing our stresses, anxiety, and pain is no longer optional–it is essential. The work we do daily supports our mission of Compassionate Service to Enrich Your Life. We meet clients exactly where they are, without judgment or expectation. Everybody deserves care.
Our team of practitioners is central to what we do every day, and our goal is to ensure we operate in a positive work environment where we can all challenge each other to grow, learn, and do better every day.
Who You Are
You derive satisfaction from being of service to others through the facilitating power of positive touch. You have an existing skill set in customer service, but, more importantly, a willingness to grow, learn, and be coached toward further development.
Our Ideal Candidate
The most important factor for us when hiring is ensuring a great team fit. This means we have a mix of staff members with a spectrum of experience in their respective fields, unified by our desire to be of service to our clients and community.
You understand that long-term success in a healing profession means balancing compassionate care with professional accountability. Strong client retention, clear communication, and participation in the culture of the workplace are all part of building a sustainable practice.
Your Skillset & Responsibilities
First and foremost, be the person you’d like to work with. You must have the desire and ability to facilitate transformative experiences for clients on a consistent basis. Whether you are answering the phones or providing services, consistently superior service is key in creating experiences that clients want to return to, again and again.
You understand that, while this is a healing and helping industry, long-term success means being aware of industry realities such as maintaining strong client retention, meeting goals, monitoring relevant metrics, and balancing day-to-day operations with an eye toward long-term plans.
A willingness to be an active participant. Whether it’s attending meetings, writing a blog post, or problem-solving something with us, your success and satisfaction will be equally as determined by your level of participation as as our role as an employer. Teams operate as teams, not as individuals.
You’re inspired by the greater good. You recognize that nothing exists truly independently of anything else. We are a business that exists in a community. We are both supported by and give support to that community.
You can communicate clearly and directly. Our industry is one of limited 1-1 interactions with other co-workers–this means recognizing the importance of communication. The greater our flow of communication, the greater our overall success.
You aren’t afraid of the uncomfortable. Discomfort means growth. Whether this manifests as a challenging conversation with a peer or supervisor, finding our edge of discomfort in a supportive environment is the path to success.
You can admit a failure or mistakes and recover quickly. Mistakes and failures happen constantly. Success should not be measured by the presence of a failure but by how quickly you can recognize what didn’t work and move on to the next step.
Inspired to perform and achieve. If goals scare you, we won’t be a good match. If feedback scares you, we won’t be a good match.
Coachable. Often the biggest roadblock to our growth is our own pride. You have the ability to maintain a beginners mindset, accepting constructive critical feedback from clients, peers, and supervisors alike.
