Am I insured through Helpi?

You’re responsible for your own liability and business insurance.

Can I be removed from the platform?

Yes. Repeated complaints, no-shows, or breaches of our Terms of Service will result in suspension or removal.

How do the ratings impact me?

Your Hero Rating is visible on your profile which the customer can see – we find highly rated Heroes get more jobs and more earnings so it always pays to make a good impression with every job you do.

Will the customers be able to rate Heroes?

Yes- after every job, the customer will rate the Hero who completed it, and that rating will appear on their Helpi profile.

What if there’s a dispute?

If the dispute happens whilst you are with the customer try and settle the issue there and then. If you cannot come to an agreement contact Helpi support. We’ll review all messages, job notes, and evidence (like photos) to help resolve disputes fairly.

The job is different to the one the customer booked?

Please explain this to the customer whilst you are there and get agreement for any additional charges you may need to make – for example if the customer booked one hour but you need two hours. You will then have the ability to update the price in the app, however, note the customer also needs to confirm the price change too.

What happens if a customer cancels?

If the job is cancelled last minute, you may still be eligible for partial payment. Each case is reviewed based on our cancellation policy.

Can the customer reschedule?

Life happens – so sometimes the customer may need to reschedule. Helpi tries to minimize this by reminding customers of booked and upcoming jobs so Hero’s have less movement in their calendars.

So what does Helpi do?

The Helpi platform connects qualified trades and service professionals with thousands of customers in an easy and accessible app and offers a secure method of payment allowing you to earn when you want.

Am I employed by Helpi?

No. You’re an independent contractor, not an employee. You control your schedule, accept the jobs you want and are responsible for the work you carry out for the customer.

Can I choose which jobs to take?

Yes! You’ll be notified when new jobs are available. Accept the ones you want- there’s no obligation.

After completing a job, Helpi releases your payment (minus platform fees) to your registered bank account, typically within 3–5 working days.

What are the requirements?

You must be at least 18, have the right to work in your area, own your tools (where applicable), and hold relevant licenses or certifications.

Register on the Helpi Team app, upload your ID, any qualifications, and complete your profile. Once approved, you can start accepting jobs.

What is a Helpi Hero?

Heroes are independent professionals who use the Helpi platform to find customers and earn money by providing home services.

Mobile Massage Therapist Jobs UK: Work Flexibly Without Platform Fees

If you’re a qualified mobile massage therapist in the UK, you’ve likely faced the same challenge as many in the industry: finding consistent, local clients without paying high platform fees or spending hours on marketing.

But what if there was a better way?

Whether you specialise in deep tissue, Swedish, sports massage, or relaxation treatments, the demand for mobile massage services is growing rapidly across the UK. More people are choosing to have treatments in the comfort of their own home, workplace, or hotel room—and that’s where you come in.

In this guide, we’ll explain how to find mobile massage jobs near you, why working independently gives you more control, and how platforms like Helpi let you connect with clients without charging you to join or take bookings.

💆‍♀️ Why Mobile Massage Therapy Is Booming in the UK

Massage therapy is no longer seen as a luxury—it’s a key part of self-care, pain relief, stress reduction, and athletic recovery. With busy lifestyles and hybrid working routines, many clients now prefer in-home or on-site massage to save time and enhance comfort.

This shift is creating opportunities for qualified therapists who want to:

Work flexibly around family or personal commitments
Be their own boss
Avoid renting expensive salon space
Travel to clients and offer a more personalised service

From city centres like London and Manchester to growing areas like Leeds, Birmingham, and Bristol, there’s no shortage of demand for mobile massage therapists.

🧾 The Problem with Traditional Booking Platforms

Many online platforms and apps claim to help massage therapists find clients—but there’s a catch. Most:

Charge hefty monthly subscriptions
Take a percentage of each booking (10–30%)
Restrict your pricing or availability
Limit how you communicate with clients

This means less control over your business, less income in your pocket, and more admin.

✅ Why Helpi Is Different

Helpi is a growing UK-based home services platform that connects mobile professionals—like massage therapists—with local customers. But unlike other platforms:

Helpi doesn’t charge therapists (Heroes) any joining fees, monthly fees, or booking fees. Ever.

You keep 100% of your earnings, and you only pay standard processing fees from your chosen payment method (like Stripe or bank transfer, if applicable).

Benefits of using Helpi include:

Free to join and use
Set your own prices and availability
Choose the areas you want to work in
Instant job notifications near you
Manage your calendar and bookings easily
Build a loyal client base through great reviews

Whether you're working part-time, full-time, or just a few evenings a week, Helpi puts you in control of your massage business.

📍 How to Find Mobile Massage Therapist Jobs Near You

Here are 5 ways to find consistent massage work locally:

1. Register on Local Job Platforms Like Helpi

Create a professional profile on Helpi, upload your qualifications, list your services, and set your area coverage. You’ll receive local job requests matched to your skills—no cold outreach needed.

2. Use Google Business and Instagram

Make sure you’re showing up in local searches for "massage therapist near me" by setting up a Google Business Profile. Share photos, reviews, and updates on Instagram to grow trust and attract new clients.

3. Offer Referral Discounts

Happy clients will often refer friends. Offer £10 off for both the referrer and the new client. This helps grow your bookings without paying for ads.

4. Build Partnerships with Local Gyms, Yoga Studios, or Beauty Salons

Even if they don’t offer massage in-house, they may be happy to refer clients to a trusted mobile therapist (you!) in exchange for cross-promotion or referral fees.

5. Specialise and Promote Your Niche

Whether you’re great at post-natal massage, lymphatic drainage, or sports recovery—make it clear in your profile and social media. Niche therapists often command higher rates and get more loyal clients.

💼 What Qualifications Do You Need?

To work legally and professionally as a mobile massage therapist in the UK, you should:

Hold a Level 3 Diploma in Massage Therapy or higher
Have Public Liability Insurance
Be CPR/First Aid certified (recommended)
Be DBS checked if working with vulnerable groups (optional but preferred)
Join a professional body (e.g., FHT, CThA, MTI) for added credibility

Helpi will verify your qualifications before listing you on the platform to help ensure client trust and quality.

🧘 Final Thoughts

Finding mobile massage therapist jobs in the UK doesn’t have to mean paying monthly fees to platforms, chasing clients, or working with low margins.

With Helpi, you can list your services for free, connect with real clients near you, and take back control of your income—all while doing what you love.

Whether you’re just starting or looking to grow your therapy business, Helpi is the no-cost, high-reward way to succeed as a mobile massage professional.
