Join Our Grooming 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 Pets Grooming salons. You'll provide the highest standard of pet care, demonstrating a basic understanding of grooming techniques, including handling, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.
We will provide comprehensive training, skills, and knowledge to help you deliver excellent service. Enjoy a competitive base pay and growth opportunities through our training programs, including Earn as You Learn and skill-based pay enhancements.
We’re seeking individuals who are:
* Passionate about delivering great service.
* Flexible, with the ability to work a shift pattern across 6 days a week (closed on Sundays). A minimum of 39 hours contract, with additional hours during busy periods, absences, and 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). Ideally, you have experience in a customer-facing role.
* Preferably experienced in target-driven environments, but willing to learn if not.
Why Join Us?
We reward and recognize 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)
* 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
At Pets at Home, we value diversity and inclusion. We encourage everyone to apply, even if your skills and experience don’t perfectly match the role. Your unique perspective and values can make a difference.
Together, we’re better with pets.
