Massage Therapist (Position located at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England)
LMR Technical Group (LMR) is seeking a Massage Therapist to join our team at Royal Air Force Lakenheath, England.
F-15Es. F-35As. Fighter pilots. And your hands helping keep the human weapon system ready to fly.
This is not a spa. It is not routine massage therapy.
At RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, you will bring your skill into one of the most consequential fighter communities in Europe, supporting U.S. Air Force fighter aircrew through the Optimizing the Human Weapon System Program.
The mission is extraordinary.
F-15E Strike Eagles. F-35A Lightning IIs. The 48th Operations Group. American combat airpower positioned at the doorstep of Europe.
Your role is focused on the person inside the aircraft.
Long sorties, flight equipment, sustained muscular loading, demanding training schedules, and the physical stress of fighter aviation all take a toll. Your expertise becomes part of the recovery and readiness equation, helping aircrew manage muscular tension, recover effectively, and stay prepared for what comes next.
Then there is where you get to do it.
England.
Live in historic East Anglia. Explore London, the English countryside, and Europe beyond it. Work around fighter aviation by day, then step into an overseas experience few Licensed Massage Therapists will ever have.
Take the interview.
Hear the mission. Meet the team. Learn what your profession looks like when the people on your table fly fighters.
Then decide for yourself.
Plenty of massage therapists help people feel better.
Very few can say they helped keep F-15E and F-35A fighter aircrew ready to fly from the heart of Europe.
