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 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 crucial to the success of our grooming salons. You will provide high standards of pet care while demonstrating basic technical skills in dog grooming, including handling, equipment use, and pre-grooming preparation.
We will provide training, skills, and knowledge to help you deliver excellent service, aligned with our goal of being the 'Best Pet Care Business in the World'. We offer a competitive salary, comprehensive training, development opportunities, and skill-based pay enhancements through our Earn as You Learn programmes.
We are looking for individuals who:
* Are passionate about delivering excellent service.
* Are flexible to work a shift pattern across 6 days a week (we are closed on Sundays). The minimum contract is 39 hours, but additional hours may be required during busy periods, absences, or holidays.
* Have experience working with or handling dogs in a professional grooming or pet care setting (desirable but not essential). Bathing and prepping your own dog does not count as professional experience. Experience in a customer-facing role is preferred.
* Have worked in a target-driven environment or are willing to work towards targets.
Why Join Us?
We value and reward our colleagues through benefits supporting 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 bank holidays, pro-rata).
* Additional day off for your birthday.
* Life assurance worth 4 times your annual salary.
* Company pension contribution of 4%.
* 20% colleague discount across the Group (Pets at Home, Pets Grooming, Vets for Pets), including 30% off on own brand.
We celebrate diversity and encourage everyone to apply, regardless of background. If you believe you can contribute through your values and behaviors, we want to hear from you!
Together, we’re better with pets.
