Registered Massage Therapist
Recovery isn't passive. It's a discipline. The right hands understand the difference.
We're not looking for relaxation therapy. We're looking for someone who understands tissue, load, and recovery cycles, applying that knowledge with precision.
You'll be embedded in a performance environment, which means your work directly impacts training capacity. You'll communicate with coaches. You'll understand what the body is being asked to do, and you'll help make sure it can keep doing it.
If you think of massage as a complement to performance rather than a break from it, this is your room.
What We're Looking For
- Registered Massage Therapist with CMTBC, or actively working toward registration
- Minimum two years experience working with active, athletic, or performance populations
- Solid grounding in deep tissue, myofascial release, and sport-focused techniques
- Working understanding of training load, periodization, and recovery demands
- Able to communicate clearly with coaches and other practitioners about client needs
- Collaborative by nature. This is a team environment, not a solo practice
- Professional, precise, and consistent in everything you do
- Current First Aid and CPR certification
Your 500
No cover letter. We've read enough of those.
Instead, we want exactly 500 words that answer four things. Not separately. Woven together, the way real thought actually works.
What you believe about people that most practitioners get wrong.
Not a theory. A conviction. Something you've arrived at through experience, failure, or obsession. Something you would defend in a room full of people who disagree. Bonus points if it's something you had to unlearn about yourself first.
The moment you almost walked away.
From this career, this path, this belief that what you do actually matters. What happened. What it felt like. And what made you stay, or come back.
What you'd dismantle about your industry, and what you would build instead.
One thing. The real one. And more importantly, what replaces it.
The gap between the standard you hold yourself to and the standard you hold your clients to.
Be honest. Most people have one. Tell us what it is, how you found it, and what you did about it. If you say there's no gap, tell us why we should believe you.
Write it however it comes naturally. Structure doesn't matter. Honesty does. We care about whether the person writing this is the same person who shows up to work.
Attach your CV and send both to careers@vanguardperformance.ca.
The Only Rule
Exactly 500 words. Not 498. Not 503. Precision is the first test.
