"Stepping up to such challenge has proved to be one of the most beneficial choices I have made on both a professional and personal level to date.”
Kerry joined the Steiner Training Academy 6 years ago, embarking on a career that would not only allow her to work within her profession (hairdresser), but one that she felt highly motivated and passionate about. Kerry realised she was about to embark on a career that would allow her to explore new travel destinations, experience new cultures, make global friendships all whilst being paid to live and work onboard a luxury cruise ship.
Working as a part of the Steiner Spa team, Kerry soon saw a whole new horizon of experiences and opportunities. After her first contact she realized that a management position was her direction. She spent the next 3 contracts gaining experience as a senior stylist and as an assistant manager, increasing her knowledge of what it takes to effectively run a Spa from a business angle and polishing up on her leadership and team building skills.
In November 2003 Kerry took on the position of Spa Manager on the Vision of the Seas. Her first contract in management was completed 6 months later and then in 2004-2005 she took another management contract onboard the Brilliance of the Seas.
After her 6th year at sea it was time to regain her “land legs” in her home country of Australia and Kerry became the Regional Recruitment Manger in Australia.
“The career opportunity with Steiner that exists for individuals qualified in the Spa professions, with a willingness to want to strive for excellence, and whom are not afraid of taking on a new adventure is extremely rewarding and satisfying. Reflecting on my time with the company, Steiner offers much more to their employees then just the ability to travel the world and to be paid well for it. The approach of encouraging you to aim high, to expect and to want the best out of yourself, you really can achieve your goals and dreams.
