Join Our Groom Room Team: Assistant Stylist Wanted!
About Us:
At Pets at Home, we’re passionate about pets and it shows. Our Pet Care Centres across the UK include grooming salons, retail stores, and veterinary practices, all dedicated to delivering the very best care and exceptional service for pets and the people who love them.
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’d love to meet you.
The Role:
Our Assistant Stylists are essential to the success of our grooming salons. You will deliver high standards of pet care, demonstrating basic technical skills in preparing and clipping dogs for grooming, including handling techniques, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.
We will provide you with training, skills, and knowledge to deliver service aligned with our goal of being the 'Best Pet Care Business in the World'. You’ll enjoy a competitive base salary, comprehensive training, development opportunities, including our Earn as You Learn programmes, and additional skill-based pay enhancements.
We’re seeking individuals who are:
* Passionate about delivering excellent service.
* Flexible. Due to the busy retail environment, you must be able to work a flexible shift pattern across 6 days a week; we are closed on Sundays. You will have a minimum contract of 39 hours, but may work additional hours during busy periods, absences, or holidays.
* Experience working with or handling dogs in a professional grooming or pet care setting is desirable but not essential (please note that bathing and prepping your own dog does not qualify as professional experience). Experience in a customer-facing role is preferred.
* Experience in a target-driven environment is preferred, but not mandatory.
Why Join Us?
We reward and recognize our colleagues in meaningful ways. Our benefits support your mental, emotional, and financial wellbeing. Some of our benefits include:
* Competitive pay plus commission, subject to targets.
* Certified iPet Level 3 training programme and qualification.
* 28 days paid annual leave, increasing to 33 days after 2 years (including 8 bank holidays, pro-rata for contracted hours).
* Additional 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.
“Pets see people without bias or discrimination. Inspired by pets, we value and respect differences in all forms. Our goal is to reflect the diversity of our communities, and every colleague can help us achieve this. We encourage everyone to be themselves. Even if your skills and experience don’t align perfectly, if you believe you can contribute through your values and behaviors, we want to hear from you!”
Together, we’re better with pets.
