Our Assistant Stylists are critical to the success of our Pets Grooming salons. You'll deliver the very highest standard of pet care, demonstrating a basic understanding of technical concepts related to preparing and clipping dogs for grooming, including handling techniques, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.
We are looking for people who are passionate about delivering excellent service and are flexible. Due to the nature of working within a busy retail environment, you should be able to work a flexible shift pattern across 6 days a week (we are closed on Sundays). You will receive a minimum contract of 39 hours, with the possibility of working more hours during busy periods, absences, or holidays.
Experience working with or handling dogs in a professional grooming or pet care environment is desirable but not essential. Please note that bathing and prepping your own dog does not qualify as professional experience. Ideally, you will have experience working in a customer-facing environment. Experience in a target-driven environment is preferred but not mandatory.
At Pets at Home, we are passionate about pets. Our Pet Care Centres across the UK include grooming salons, retail stores, and veterinary practices, all dedicated to delivering the best care for pets and their owners.
We believe in creating welcoming, supportive environments where team members can thrive. If you share our love for pets and our commitment to excellence, we would love to meet you.
We will provide training, skills, and knowledge to help you deliver outstanding service. You will enjoy a competitive base pay, along with comprehensive training and development opportunities, including our Earn as You Learn programmes and additional skill-based pay enhancements.
Why Join Us? We value and recognize our colleagues in meaningful ways. Our benefits support your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing, both now and in the future. Some benefits include:
* Attractive pay rates plus commission, subject to targets
* 28 days paid annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years (including bank holidays, pro-rata for contracted hours)
* An extra day off for your birthday
* Life Assurance - 4 times your annual salary
* Company pension contribution of 4%
* Colleague discount of 20% across the Group (Pets at Home, Pets Grooming, Vets for Pets), including 30% off on own brand products
We embrace diversity, respect, and inclusion, encouraging our team members to be their best selves. We aim to reflect the communities we serve and are committed to removing barriers to create opportunities for all talent. Even if your skills and experience are not a perfect match, if you can contribute through your values and behaviors, we want to hear from you.
