Join Our Grooming Team: Assistant Stylist Wanted!
About Us:
At Pets at Home, we’re passionate about pets. Our Pet Care Centres across the UK include grooming salons, retail stores, and veterinary practices, all dedicated to providing the best care for pets and their owners.
We aim to create welcoming, supportive environments where team members can thrive. If you love pets and are committed to excellence, we’d love to meet you.
The Role:
Our Assistant Stylists are vital to our grooming salons' success. You will deliver high standards of pet care, demonstrating basic technical skills related to dog grooming, including handling techniques, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.
We will provide training, skills, and knowledge to help you deliver service aligned with our goal of being the 'Best Pet Care Business in the World'. We offer a competitive salary and support your development through comprehensive training, including Earn as You Learn programmes and skill-based pay enhancements.
We’re seeking individuals who are:
* Passionate about delivering excellent service.
* Flexible, with the ability to work a flexible shift pattern across 6 days a week (closed on Sundays). The minimum contract is 39 hours, but additional hours may be required 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 (note: bathing and prepping your own dog does not count as professional experience). Experience in a customer-facing role is preferred.
* Familiar with target-driven environments is a plus, but not required.
Why Join Us?
We value and reward our colleagues in meaningful ways. Our benefits support your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing, including:
* Attractive pay 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)
* Extra day off for your birthday
* Life Assurance - 4 times your annual salary
* Company pension contribution of 4%
* 20% staff discount across the Group (Pets at Home, Pets Grooming, Vets for Pets), including 30% off on own brand products
We embrace diversity and value all backgrounds. We encourage everyone to be their best selves to create a better world for Pets, our Planet, and People. We aim to reflect the communities we serve and remove barriers to opportunity. Even if your skills don’t perfectly match, if you can contribute through your values and behaviors, we want to hear from you!
Together, we’re better with pets.
